Thanks for providing the details! And thanks for all the progress on =20
this front in general.

I'd appreciate it if HTML Working Group members could study the =20
differences (if any) in normative requirements between this text and =20
the current draft-duerst-iri-bis vs. the old text plus Web Address, so =20=

we can determine whether we need to propose changes to IRIbis. (One =20
small one I spotted while skimming: Under the new text, any IRI would =20=

count as a "valid URL", even ones that use non-ASCII characters in the =20=

query portion and thus would be processed differently under Web =20
Address processing than vanilla IRI processing; while with the old =20
text these would not be valid.).
