Thank you for the clarification. Surely then this ought to be

After some pushback, there is in fact such a document being worked
on. It's not quite far enough to reference normatively last I
checked....
Is it defined in http://www.w3.org/html/wg/href/draft ?
Yep.
It's expected that at some point soon, all of the necessary rules for
processing URLish strings in a Web-compatible way will be defined in
the next version of the IRI RFC. Current draft: <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-duerst-iri-bis-07

should change our reference to IRIbis when it is ready.
