Perhaps they are not, but every non-English wiki (just to take a simple, generic example) potentially contains non-ASCII URLs. e.g. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89l%C3%A9phant http://wiki.python.org/moin/J%C3%BCrgenHermann (notice the utf-8 encoding in both) > Implement IRIs if you want non-ASCII characters; the rules are much clearer for these. I think most people would expect something which works with the current World Wide Web rather than a rigorous implementation of a specific RFC. Implementing RFCs is fine but it does not magically eliminate all problems, especially when the RFCs themselves are not in sync with real-world usage.
