Re: ISSUE-29 (scope-uri-schemes): Should the HTML 5 specification introduce URI schemes such as javascript:? [HTML Principles/Requirements]

IMO, it should be provisionally registered as its obviously in very
widespread use, and I have no issues with it being part of HTML 5...
though the registration should follow the template in sec 5.4 of RFC
4395.

This is assuming there's no problem treating the HTML 5 spec as an
IETF contribution per RFC 3978 (see sec 5.2 of RFC 4395).  If that's a
problem then it will have to be with a separate Internet Draft.

Mark.
