Jeremy Hylton <jer...@alum.mit.edu> added the comment: Indeed, I think I confused some other character encoding issues related to HTTP with the URI issue. The discussion in RFC 3986 is length and only occasionally clarifying for this issue. That is, it doesn't say anything definitive like applications are free to use any character encoding when decoding a URI. But I think it agrees with your assessment that an application is free to interpret the binary data however it wants, e.g. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-2.1
