An example are XPath 2 F/O, see http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-xpath-functions-20070123/#uri : [Within this specification, the term "URI" refers to Universal Resource Identifiers as defined in [RFC 3986] and extended in [RFC 3987] with a new name "IRI". [...] Note also that the definition of xs:anyURI is a wider definition than the definition in [RFC 3987]; for example it does not require non-ASCII characters to be escaped.] I think the statement above makes clear that your assumption "XML Schema 1.0 second ed., which does not appear to support all IRIs in the xsd:anyURI type. ", is not true. Hence, I would disagree with your resolution. We will discuss this issue at our i18n core call next week (18 Sept.) and will provide you with a Working Group reply (which should not stop you from replying to my mail, but please keep public-i18n-core in the loop).
