"Web Addresses in HTML 5", URIs, URLs, IRIs

This was, until recently, part of the HTML 5 spec. It's
been suggested that it applies beyond HTML 5, e.g. XMLHTTPRequest,
and perhaps Jabber etc.

Abstract

This specification defines the handling of Web addresses for Hypertext 
Markup Language (HTML) 5, the fifth major revision of the core language 
of the World Wide Web. In this version, special attention has been given 
to defining clear conformance criteria for user agents in an effort to 
improve interoperability.
