No, they're not, although it tends to be good practice in namespace URIs to avoid pushing it and using IRIs or appending crazy path info. Your proposal seems to be to force them to be normalized into US-ASCII by URL encoding any character points that aren't. We should check on that to make sure that's sufficiently well-defined, but it sounds reasonable. -- Scott
