Re: W3C WSDL WG: 6b. Define encoding for non-ASCII characters in request URL

Jeff,

I agree this ought be an easy issue. However [6] is in Last Call, and
contains a pretty strong requirement that "W3C specifications [...] SHOULD
use Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRI) [2] (or an appropriate
subset thereof)." We seem to be (at least) some months away from Last Call
ourselves, and I am wondering whether it is not more desirable to see how
the landscape evolves and then make a more informed judgement. What do you
think?

Jean-Jacques.
