>This document defines a new protocol element, the Internationalized
>Resource Identifier (IRI), as a complement to the Uniform Resource
>Identifier (URI). An IRI is a sequence of characters from the
>Universal Character Set (Unicode/ISO 10646). A mapping from IRIs to
>URIs is defined, which means that IRIs can be used instead of URIs,
>where appropriate, to identify resources.
>
>The approach of defining a new protocol element was chosen instead
>of extending or changing the definition of URIs. This was done in
>order to allow a clear distinction and to avoid incompatibilities with
>existing software. Guidelines are provided for the use and deployment
>of IRIs in various protocols, formats, and software components that
>currently deal with URIs.
>
>This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
>
>This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
>the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
>for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the
>"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
>standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution
>of this memo is unlimited.
