I'd strongly suggest that URI's (URN's..and perhaps even postulating at least one representation of the URC information) to be in a widely used universal character set which is avaible on every box. Otherwise you'll IMHO yeopardize one of the fairly basic fundamental requirements for URIs, URNs and friends. This set will propably be a mailsafe/subset of 7bit ascii. Dw. (Who is just fighting with the pound, hash and squiely chars on some frensch and UK ALIweb/URN-resolver submissions... and NOT enjoying himself at all).
