But I think users, user agents, tools, etc., have typically no business to look "behind" namespace names. They know and support it, or they don't know it, game over. For that job IRIs are no obstacle. It's not the same situation as with system identifiers, where tools are seriously in trouble when they'd get the style of non-IRIs in XML 1 (3rd + 4th ed.) with U-labels in the host. AFAIK nobody needs to look up a namespace (unless they are curious, of course, but then they might have a choice to use an UA supporting IRIs, or might find a Web form translating the raw IRI into an equivalent URI.) Just in case, a "real" URI with a DNS <host> name, not some b%c3%bccher.example for the "real" xn--bcher-kva.example Frank
