It seems to me that it would be a compatible change to have an IRI.fromString 
method that could do some extremely straightforward parsing - heck, even 
ASCII-only! - and then add support for more complex forms later.  After all, we 
have APIs like clientFromString which explicitly support extension; the 
contract is just (string)->something or (string)->CantGiveYouSomething; the 
exact format of the string is up to modification.  (Although I would suggest 
that once we have tests for parsing a particular form we should never _remove_ 
that form...)
