Implement IRIs if you want non-ASCII characters; the rules are much clearer for these. I think most people would expect something which works with the current World Wide Web rather than a rigorous implementation of a specific RFC. Implementing RFCs is fine but it does not magically eliminate all problems, especially when the RFCs themselves are not in sync with real-world usage.
Why do you think implementing IRIs would not work with the current World Wide Web? IRIs are made for the current World Wide Web. Applications desiring to work in the current World Wide Web would then, of course, need to use the IRI library.
Regards, Martin
