This is a bug in the RFCs. For the record: I totally disagree. It's not the job of the URI and IRI RFCs to describe how a user agent has to handle things that do not conform to the RFC3986/3987 syntax. On the other hand, if there's a problem with syntactically correct URIs/IRIs, please be more specific. BR, Julian
