1) Document Taking Martin suggestion, there should be a working document with the aim to produce draft for the i18n of the UR*. Any willing editor ? 2) Original intention The important is the present intention. 3) External character set The external character set should be Unicode. The external representation depends on the capability of the client. Some clients would have inputting and displaying capabilities for rich characters, others would have to do with %xx. For transmition, the characters could be transformed. This is the business between the user and his client. 4) Transmition character set The character set used for transmition and the resulting URL must compatible with todays servers. Perhaps the transmition character set could be one of the existing UTF-* or a new one is needed. This is the business between the client and the server. 3) Printability This is public relation or commercial issue. The author in a French newspaper have to deside how he reaches better his public; with a URL with or without rich characters. This is the business between the author and his public. Tomas
