And don't forget IRIs for when you have really dirty data and can't be bothered to clean it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_Resource_Identi

  That's a very misleading statement. IRIs are for the majority of people in the world whose language isn't written exclusively with the Latin script - more specifically, the ASCII version of the Latin script, which doesn't even include diacritical marks. The IRI https://example.com/menu/pâtés https://example.com/menu/pâtés is a lot better than the best equivalent URI: https://example.com/menu/p%C3%A2t%C3%A9s https://example.com/menu/p%C3%A2t%C3%A9s

    Granted. My only exposure was folks using it to gloss over what could have been expressed in 7 bit clean ascii if you knew the codepage it had been encoded with. I apologize for the mischaracterization of legitimate use.
