Your proposal distin- guishes two cases. In the first case you convert the IRI to a sequence of characters from the UCS. That is a no-op because an IRI already is a sequence of characters from the UCS. In the other case you do exactly the same thing, so the two cases are not actually distinct; in neither cases do you do anything at all. I do agree people need to understand what an IRI is; I do not think the proposed text is helpful. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
