DR 09-0291 ? OPC: Use of term "Unicode string"

[MURATA Makoto (FAMILY Given)]

I am against the first option, and support the last option.

This area has been clumsy for the past 20 years.  Different spec did
slightly different but equally ad-hoc things.  Things have become
messier and messier.  Now, we have LEIRI, IRIs, and URIs.  I guess that 
more than 10000 e-mails have been written for standardizing them.  Why 
don't we simply use LEIRI, IRIs, and URIs?

See Clause 5 in LEIRI.  It shows what is not allowed as part of IRIs but 
allowed as part of LEIRIs.  Does OPC do the same thing?  Or, does 
OPC do something different?

The same topic has been discussed for HTML5 for 2 years.  In the case of
HTML5, people appear to have some reason for inventing our own "URL5".
But I do not see any reasons not to use LEIRI in OPC at least now.
