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

Jean, I can go either way: (a) include a tentative resolution in the
spec now and update later, or (b) leave the issue open for a while and
resolve it later all at once. Since we're not pressed to resolve this
issue right now, why don't we do (b) as you suggest.

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.
