We do treat "." specially in IDNA because that's part of domain name.
Likewise, IRI should treat '/', '#', spaces etc specially as part of URL handling.
(if we ever get around to do email, i expect i18n email identifiers to handle a separate sets of symbols)

the way i look at the '/' problem is that it isn't a IDN problem but rather an URL specific problem. So i think the problem can be resolved in IRI do appropriate mapping.
That's an interesting idea. Maybe all homographs of the reserved
characters should also be reserved, which would mean they must always be
percent-escaped.
