A good page with resources on this is from the w3c i18n working group.
It can be found at: http://www.w3.org/International/O-URL-and-ident.html
There is also an RFC which Martin Duerst et. al. wrote at:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-masinter-url-i18n-05.txt.
The BIND development team is also looking at the problem. Adding
