BTW, on adding support for UA discovery of nonURL URIs, take a look  
at what Wikipedia can do with a ISBN:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special% 
3ABooksources&isbn=3533031845>

The "urn" and "ldap" URI schema I referred to is registered with IANA:

<http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes.html>

ISBN and other registered namespaces for the "urn" schema are here:

Take care,
