It does, and so should websocket. But every other scheme RFC defines  
the URI first and foremost, then describes how to map IRIs. If  
websocket will be an IRI scheme first and foremost, defining it in  
terms of ihier-part and iquery makes sense. Then just adapt the text  
from RFC4622 sections 2 and 3.

The first sentence from <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4622#section-2.8.1

"If a processing application is presented with an XMPP URI and not  
with an XMPP IRI, it MUST first convert the URI into an IRI by  
following the procedure specified in Section 3.2 of [IRI]."
