I'm trying to implement IDNs right now, but I don't get
which approach I'm supposed to use.
No decision has been taken yet, so there is not an "official" way ofdoing IDN in Gemini. It's probably the biggest issue in the temporaryspecification.
It seems like the spec hasn't been updates on this, so which method
would be the best for compatibility with servers?
Today, it seems the majority of the servers expect an URI, not anIRI. So you have to send ASCII-only requests (despite what thetemporary specification says).
