Stephane Bortzmeyer mentioned IRIs in an earlier email in this thread.
I think that was probably a mistake, and if not, then I don't support it.
I should have caught it at the time but I didn't, sorry. All I have been
talking about the entire time, in this thread and in the GitHub issue[1]
you quote from, is IDNs -- Internationalized Domain Names.

You're right that using IRIs over URIs would be a big change, and a bad
one. I'm only talking about converting and messing with domains. In my
opinion, to keep things simple, no client should deal with IRIs at all.

I hope that sets the record straight. I'm only talking about domains.
Thanks for allowing me to clarify that.

>> What about link lines though?

This quote from the issue has been removed now. It was in reference to how
Amfora should work interally, not what low-level clients should do. I hope the
issue is more clear now. No IRIs! :)
