Nope - you are far from alone. However, appsawg is an active WG, whereas URI/IRI are not, so perhaps that's why people tend to direct attention here.

I'd far prefer that appsawg were shut down and replaced by "mail" and "Web" WGs, the latter taking responsibility for URIs. They'd fight over format stuff, but that mirrors real life...
