== Unicode and URIs ==

[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt RFC 3986] defines URIs and does not allow Unicode; however, the IETF addresses this in [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3987.txt RFC 3987] via the IRI mechanism which is related but separate. The syntactic definitions are very similar where most of the elements are extended. Two lower level elements are added 'iprivate' and 'ucschar' which are specific ranges of two byte percent encoded values. These elements percolate up through most of the higher syntax elements such as the authority, paths, and segments which have i-versions. Other elements such as 'scheme' and the IP address elements are left alone. There is also no 'ireserved' element. --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 14:50, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
