I was searching for the RSS spec on the W3C's website, and discovered that it's not hosted on there. Ironically, although it's not one of their standards, they still have RSS feeds.
While browsing, I found some interesting standards work. Too bad standards take forever.
W3C Internationalization (I18N) News
An Introduction to Multilingual Web Addresses: A long while ago, I thought it'd be cool to use %-escaped Unicode in URLs to eliminate the alphabet-only restriction. That still seems like the most reasonable method. Also see IDN links.
XML Binary Characterization Measurement Methodologies: Compiled markup?
Here are the RSS specs. There's RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0. One might think, "Why not just use 2.0?" These are actually different ad-hoc standards, based one a strange and twisted history. The rss-specifications.com site has additional useful information.
