Non-ascii characters in URI references

Hi,

  I have <defs> like the following:

  <defs>
    <rect id="Björn1" width="5cm" height="1cm" />
    <linearGradient id="Björn2">
      <stop offset="20%" stop-color="#39F" />
      <stop offset="90%" stop-color="#F3F" />
    </linearGradient>
  </defs>

Now I like to reference them via

    <use x="1cm" y="1cm" xlink:href="#Bj%C3%B6rn1" />

and

    <rect x="1cm" y="2cm" width="5cm" height="1cm"
      fill="url(#Bj%C3%B6rn2)" />

Are SVG 1.0/1.1 user agents required to show the first rect?
Are SVG 1.0/1.1 user agents required to show the gradient?

If not, why not?
