I of course agree with you on this.

But, I think we need both. I think we need documents that give  
guidelines on how to handle URLs as well, but my point is that it is a  
different cup of tea.

I can envision:

1. Display of a http URI with username and password in a right to left  
context
2. Display of a http URI without username and password in a left to  
right context with one of the labels being right to left

Etc...

Very different things than talking about (just) domain names in a  
generic sense.
