I also like this, bug have to ask:  Do any non-10646 IRIs encode
differently depending on language?  Ie, would forcing everything
to 10646/utf8 loose information due to character unification?

Think of the differences between the zht, zhs, jp and ko glyphs
of characters unified by 10646.

Perhaps it doesn't matter, even if so?  Or perhaps the utf8 IRI should
be accompanied by a optional language hint?
