#93: clarify which characters are disallowed vs. not recommended


Comment (by masinter@…):

 The problem here is that in some cases, the difference between LEIRI and
 IRI is not uniform. For example, private use characters are allowed in
 IRIs in the query component, and in LEIRIs everywhere. So the advice on
 "Converting LEIRIs to IRIs" isn't quite accurate, since you might want to
 utf-8 percent-hex-encode private use characters in other parts of the
 LEIRI when converting to an IRI but leave the private use characters in
 the query component alone.

 Two choices: change IRIs to allow them everywhere, or change the section
 on converting LEIRIs. Which does the WG prefer?
