So there simply isn't enough data? Given that HTML5 recommends UTF-8 as the page encoding, citing URL support as justification, one should think that IRI-support is already wide?

Btw, the letter 'ü' might require percent encoding even for UTF-8 because it, in a IRI, may point to a resource with a decomposed letter (and decomposed 'ü' should not be used in Web texts). Leif
