I think that's a little dramatic. Looking at my server, I need to make a
change in exactly one place: when mapping IRI paths to file paths, I
can no longer use the url decoding library I was using to decode URI
paths, because it mangles Unicode characters. But since I can now be
sure that only IRI reserved characters are encoded, I can just do a
simple substring substitution. It's also a change that is
backward-compatible with old clients.
