Larry, I don't want to pre-empt the IRI experts, but I have a hunch that giving the URI %HH escapes a formal definition of representing UTF-8 (rather than the present undefined encoding) would help the IRI activity enormously. My guess is it would leave them free to define a canonic mapping of IRIs into URIs without requiring any further URI spec. changes. If I'm right, would this simple change be out of scope?
