That wasn't intentional -- can you point to where it says that? The
HTML5 spec relies on spaces not being allowed in URLs in various places.
In section 2.3.2 (Parsing URLs):
# Add all characters with codepoints less than or equal to U+0020 or

Only invalid HTML-URLs can contain spaces (otherwise they wouldn't be

*But* (and that's the part I missed), most IRIs are valid HTML URLs, but
you can only put them into an HTTP header as long as they do not use
non-ISO-8859-1 characters.
So the AC spec really needs to say it's talking about RFC3986 URIs.
