Apparently valid URIs in all href attributes, no "raw" IRI.

That has a "raw" IRI in a href-link, but the page claims to
be XHTML 1 permitting only URIs, therefore it is invalid.

Apparently valid URIs, no "raw" IRI.  Ditto he.wikipedia.

Maybe I misunderstood the question.  I was about to post a
link to <http://idn.icann.org>, but that Wiki now also uses
"URI-fied" IRIs, not "raw" IRIs.  It is tricky to find any
document format permitting "raw" IRIs in links.

And "raw" UTF-8 IRIs are boring, popular browsers get this
right - "raw" IRIs in legacy charsets are more interesting.
