I haven't fully understood it, either, but I think that's the right conclusion. People want to fetch the resource, then, and encoding the host name in UTF-8 won't do much good. > Seems like the other somewhat under-specified part of all of this is how > urllib.unquote() should work.

That's why I think that using IRIs should be a separate feature, perhaps a separate module entirely.
