No, there are not.  Given the IRI spec's description of how to map
to a URI, I believe you would have to register a URI spec
in any case.

The existing IRI draft has also not been last called,
largely because of a dependency on the update to the URI spec,
which is due to be submitted for full Standard.  Given the relative
deployment, it  is my personal opinion that registering a URI scheme
is the right thing to do at this stage.
