The IETF's IRI WG is working to update RFC 3987 (Internationalized
Resource Identifiers). We're doing some informal research to determine
how IRIs are used in existing protocols [1], and Atom seems like an
interesting case. In particular with respect to IRI processing, we're
curious whether Atom implementations (a) strictly follow the rules from
RFC 3987, (b) use the same processing algorithms as other XML
applications, or (c) use the same processing algorithms as HTML
applications. If you have insights into this issue, please do let us know.

Thanks!

Peter
