You are referring to http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-masinter-url-i18n-08.txt Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRI). As a co-author, I have to tell you that the draft became quite a bit easier to write and read when introducing the distinction between URIs and IRIs. And I expect the same benefit for other specifications that reference this work. So I wouldn't want to change back to the terminology used in earlier drafts. However, I agree with you that in common use, people will most probably call everything an URI or URL, and that should work out fine. Regards, Martin. #-#-# Martin J.
