Actually, I'm not proposing making a change, just finding out how compatible the IETF notion of a URI is with the use of a URI scheme to represent abstract names with no retrieval semantics. The answer seems to be that it's not compatible. For the record though, I don't see how such a change would "conflict with the Web". - Stephen
