[iri] #5: Separate IRI from "presentation of IRI" as concepts

<hat type='individual'/>

Section 1.1 of rfc3987bis has the following paragraph:

   URIs are used both as a protocol element (for transmission and
   processing by software) and also a presentation element (for display
   and handling by people who read, interpret, coin, or guess them).
   The transition between these roles is more difficult and complex when
   dealing with the larger set of characters than allowed for URIs in
   [RFC3986].

In Issue #5, Larry suggested a change...

   "... processing by software) and also as the basis for presentation
   (for display and handling by people who read, interpret,
   coin, or guess them). The transition between protocol element
   and presentation is more difficult and complex when..."

That seems reasonable to me. I see only a few related modifications:

1. In Section 1.3, delete this definition:

    presentation element:  A presentation form corresponding to a
       protocol element; for example, using a wider range of characters.

2. In Section 7.2, change this:

    A person viewing a visual representation of an IRI

to:

    A person viewing a visual presentation of an IRI
