It's not, though.

I've got servers running on international domain names, and the majority
of the pages I'm serving have Japanese characters in the paths.
This works *today* in every single gemini client I've tried, because the
paths are valid URIs (percent-encoded) and the domains work with
punycode.

Nice clients can show decoded paths and decoded domains, but the beauty
of the current approach is that they don't have to.
