I'm curious as to why you so adamantly want to ban non-ascii IRIs  
from HTML?

More on this later, but from what I am gathering from the experts,  
given the spirit of the specs (written before IDNs and IRIs) and the  
level of support for IDNs, barking at IRIs in href and src would be  
counterproductive for the internationalization of the web.
