Fwd: Re: Impact of changing a specification from URI to IRI and XRI


The only danger I know of in using non-ASCII characters is if any harm can be caused by someone maliciously (or otherwise) replacing an ASCII character with a similar-looking non-ASCII character. This is the basis of many phishing attacks. I don't really see how that affects us, but then I also don't see how allowing non-ASCII characters helps us significantly either. Do we really need our identifiers to be that multi-lingual? Regards Paul Spencer >
