Technical Standard #58 was published two weeks ago!

Unicode Link Detection and Formatting:
URLs and Email Addresses
unicode.org/reports/tr58/

---

【This document specifies two consistent, standardized mechanisms that address [URL] problems, consisting of:

1 )link detection: detecting URLs and email addresses embedded in plain text that properly handles non-ASCII characters, and
2) minimally escaping: minimal escaping of non-ASCII code points in the Path, Query, and Fragment portions of a URL.】
