I-Regexps should handle the vast majority of practical cases where a matching regexp is needed in a data-model specification or a query-language expression.

At the time of writing, an editor of this document conducted a survey of the regexp syntax used in recently published RFCs. All examples found there should be covered by I-Regexps, both syntactically and with their intended semantics. The exception is the use of multi-character escapes, for which workaround guidance is provided in Section 5.
