That's wishful thinking. (Or, that horse has left the barn).

URLs are any string that happens to resolve on the local browser and 
then pasted into a document.

You can verify that today it even includes uppercase Greek, for example.


In a recent discussion someone put it that labels should be valid IDN U 
labels once they are "in the system". Now, when you make a DNS lookup 
the label you submit is "in the system". When it's on the side of a bus, 
to use the other extreme, it's not. Now, where do you draw the line for 
where "the system" starts? I don't think you can include all HTML 
documents or HTML mail message or any other place a URL can and does 
exist today.
