The specification<gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/specification.gmi> seemssilent about IDN (Internationalized Domain Names, domains in Unicode,see RFC 5890). The spec mentions URI (not 3986) but not IRI(Internationalized Resource Identifiers, RFC 3987).

Therefore, it is not clear what servers and clients should do (send anIRI, or accept IRI but convert it to URI or something else). A testwith some clients seem to indicate it does not work (tested at<gemini://gémeaux.bortzmeyer.org/>):

- Bombadillo says "Found "é", expected EOF"

What is the normal behaviour?
