Are people actually using such constructs? According to RFC 2396 (and
1738), neither the scheme nor the hostname is allowed to contain escaped
characters:
RFC 2396, Appendix A:
|
| scheme= alpha *( alpha | digit | "+" | "-" | "." )
|
| [...]
|
| host

I believe that Dean commented:
i admit, rfc2396 doesn't allow hostname escaping.
I expect that there will be hundreds of pieces of software that will
puke on i18n hostnames. It's a lame idea to begin
