Possibility for internationalization of domain names

This plan is for Plane 0 values only, though odds
are it could be extended to other planes.

Instead of base 16, use base 32. That means the digits
are 0, 1, 2, 3, ... 9, A, B, ... V. So each is 5
bits. 3 together is 15 bits. Have 2 (not 1) escape
characters and kabam! your 16 bits, in only 4 bytes
of URI.

Is this OK?
