Just to be pedantic, URIs (RFC 3986) are in pure US-ASCII. IRIs (RFC 3987) are in Unicode and are accepted by Atom (so, Atom's URIs seem to be actually IRIs). The standard says: # Unconstrained; it's not entirely clear how IRI fit into # xsd:anyURI so let's not try to constrain it here atomUri = text > if I understand things correctly, full support for Mandarin > Chinese-based domains in not far off (speaking in terms of DNS > support and such). It is quite old, RFC 3490 (issued three years ago and implemented even before). > email adresses encoded as mentioned There is not yet any standard for Unicode email addresses (work is going on, see the very recent IETF Working Group EAI http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/eai-charter.html).
