I don't know much about this either, but I'll give you a +1.

I just Googled around a bit and am a little confused.

On one hand, I see some suggestions that the xsd:anyURI datatype is 
IRI-compatible. If that's right, RELAX NG supports that out of the box, 
so I imagine just changing the pattern for uris to use xsd:anyURI might 
address the issue on that end.  I don't remember the name of that 
pattern, but IIRC it doesn't now use xsd:anyURI.

OTOH, I see in this Atom schema that they say:

So that's one question to get a better answer for.

Not sure if there are other issues to worry about.
