Very well put, but unfortunately as we all know not very realistic. Not only the IRI spec, but also the URI spec (RFC 3986) allows %hh in domain names. Allowing this in other interfaces and APIs (but not in the DNS protocol itself) is definitely a good idea. I think that both for this specific point of %hh, as well as for more general issues, working on tests (Mark started it, although he didn't use the word test explicitly) is the best thing to do. I think we should just invite Dave Hollander to contribute tests to the W3C test collection, at least where those are Web-related.
