While I think we can manage to avoid the character set issue in URNs
and URLs, I don't think it is avoidable in URCs. In particular,
attributes such as 'title' and 'author' will ultimately HAVE to face
that there needs to be a character set for writing them in whatever
human language they are actually written.
