I'll add a reference.  It's not standard, but it's used in the Chrome
extension system.  Basically, the URLs look like the following:

chrome-extension://ankgjoopnopeoeljehjkighfcfefalcg/foo.html

ankgjoopnopeoeljehjkighfcfefalcg is (roughly) a fingerprint of a public key.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-websec-origin-02#section-10.1

[[
   IDNA2008 [RFC5890] supersedes IDNA2003 [RFC3490] but is not
   backwards-compatible.  For this reason, there will be a transition
   period (possibly of a number of years).  User agents SHOULD implement
   IDNA2008 [RFC5890] and MAY implement [Unicode Technical Standard #46
   <http://unicode.org/reports/tr46/>] in order to facilitate a smoother
   IDNA transition.  If a user agent does not implement IDNA2008, the
   user agent MUST implement IDNA2003 [RFC3490].
]]

which is a polite way of saying that the authors of RFC 5891 didn't
pay attention to the constraints of some implementors, which means
those implementors will probably ignore RFC 5891 for the foreseeable
future.
