BUILD: Current nightly STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1) Load http://www.w3.org/2001/08/iri-test/LinkShow.html 2) Hover over the first link ACTUAL RESULTS: status popup shows "http://www.w3.org/People/Dürst" EXPECTED RESULTS: Possibly show "http://www.w3.org/People/D%FCrst" ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Following the link would show "http://www.w3.org/People/D%FCrst" in the URL bar, if it weren't for the redirects the server does in this case. This is mentioned in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-iri/2011Jul/0102.html If you want to read the full thread, it starts at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-iri/2011Jul/0060.html My personal opinion is that we should probably be consistent when unescaping in the status popup and the url bar....
