I'd agree with you as far as URIs in general, but specific schemes may have further mechanisms available (as 2396, Section 6, alludes). Would it be helpful in the long term if there were a slot for scheme-specific canonicalisation mechanisms in the scheme registration template? Would it be folly to require that it be present? Because many schemes pick BNF rules from 2396, and they're required to have the same canonicalisation behaviour when they do so, it would be easy to provide a framework for doing so.
