Are we going to have to update the URL RFC? (Score 1)

Thee current RFC 1738 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html Only allows URLs to be composed of

" Within those parts, an octet may be represented by the chararacter which has that octet as its code within the US-ASCII [20] coded character set. In addition, octets may be encoded by a character triplet consisting of the character "%" followed by the two hexadecimal digits (from "0123456789ABCDEF") which forming the hexadecimal value of the octet. (The characters "abcdef" may also be used in hexadecimal encodings.)"

So A-Z and %ddd Just ain't gonna cut it.

Currently URLs are in the ASCII subset of utf-8. What are they going to be in in the future?

What about languages that go from right to left like Hebrew and Arabic?
