The current draft of RFC 2396 bis, however, will restrict the authority
to DNS only when it becomes an RFC:
Registry-based naming authorities that use the generic syntax
authority component are now limited to DNS hostnames, since those
have been the only such URIs in deployment. This change was
necessary to enable internationalized domain names to be processed in
their native character encodings at the application layers above URI
processing. The reg_name, server, and hostport productions have been
removed to simplify parsing of the URI syntax.
