A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs)
Author(s) : M. Duerst, M. Suignard
Filename : draft-duerst-iri-bis-03.txt
Pages : 49
Date : 2008-07-08
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.
[RFC Editor: Please remove this paragraph before publication.] This
