IRIs and bidirectional formatting characters

It seems the RFC tries to prohibit bidirectional formatting characters
from appearing in IRIs, but they are allowed per the syntax
productions. What's the rationale behind that?

Asking this in the context of figuring out what exactly the URL
Standard should say on the matter.
