It's expected that at some point soon, all of the necessary rules for  
processing URLish strings in a Web-compatible way will be defined in  
the next version of the IRI RFC. Current draft: <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-duerst-iri-bis-07

should change our reference to IRIbis when it is ready.
