There is a new IRI working group, charter: http://tools.ietf.org/wg/iri/charters Mail discussions are on public-iri@w3.org archives: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-iri/ The first F2F meeting of the IRI working group in IETF will be Friday, March 25, at the IETF meeting in Anaheim (www.ietf.org), but of course, as with all IETF working groups, the primary work of the group is on the mailing list. One of the charter items is to insure the result is acceptable to HTTPBIS. I think there is a reasonable question about what the "Location" header should be if the original IRI had non-ascii characters. The problem is that IRI -> URI is a lossy transformation in general -- it doesn't (or shouldn't) lose the information about how to actually access the resource, but the "Location" header is also used for information display.
