A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRI)
Author(s) : M. Duerst, M. Suignard
Filename : draft-duerst-iri-04.txt
Pages : 35
Date : 2003-7-1
This document defines a new protocol element, the Internationalized
Resource Identifier (IRI), as a complement to the URI [RFC2396]. An
IRI is a sequence of characters from the Universal Character Set
[ISO10646]. 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, to allow a clear
distinction and to avoid incompatibilities with existing software.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-duerst-iri-04.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
