Title : Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs)

This document defines the Internationalized Resource Identifier (IRI)
protocol element, as an extension of the Uniform Resource Identifier
(URI). An IRI is a sequence of characters from the Universal
Character Set (Unicode/ISO 10646). Grammar and processing rules are
given for IRIs and related syntactic forms.
In addition, this document provides named additional rule sets for
processing otherwise invalid IRIs, in a way that supports other
specifications that wish to mandate common behavior for 'error'
handling. In particular, rules used in some XML languages (LEIRI)
and web applications are given.
Defining IRI as new protocol element (rather than updating or
extending the definition of URI) allows independent orderly
transitions: other protocols and languages that use URIs must
explicitly choose to allow IRIs.
Guidelines are provided for the use and deployment of IRIs and
related protocol elements when revising protocols, formats, and
software components that currently deal only with URIs.
