I haven't fully understood it, either, but I
Maybe I didn't understand the RFC quite right, but it seemed like how
to handle hostnames was left as a choice between IDNA encoding the
hostname or replacing the non-ascii characters with dashes? I guess in
practice IDNA is the right decision.

But if someone wanted to
I may be missing something, but it seems that RFC 3987 (which is about
IRIs) basically says:
1) IRIs are identical to URIs except they may have unicode characters
in them
2) IRIs must be converted to URIs before being used in HTTP
3) The way to convert IRIs to URIs is to UTF-8 encode the uni

I would ;-) There are IRIs, just that nobody wrote a useful module for that.
There are algorithms in the RFC that can convert URIs to IRIs and the other way
round. IMO tha

The proper way to implement this would be IRIs (RFC 3987),
in particular section 3.1. This is not as simple as just
encoding it as UTF-8, as you might have to apply IDNA to
the host part.
Code doing so just hasn't been contributed yet.
