IRI is (almost always) the correct term to use, not URL.

My view on this has changed due to this document:

Standardize on the term URL. URI and IRI are just confusing. In practice a single algorithm is used for both so keeping them distinct is not helping anyone. URL also easily wins the search result popularity contest.
