Thanks. For context, the example string was :
ecdsa-koblitz-pubkey:1LGpGhGK8whX23ZNdxrgtjKrek9rP4xWER
I suspect this is a kind of place holder for the prototype?
IIRC this would not be a valid URI according to RFC 3986 [1] as you
normally have a second colon e.g.
pubkey:ecdsa-koblitz-bitcoin:1LGpGhGK8whX23ZNdxrgtjKrek9rP4xWER
(I may be wrong on that)
In any case, great work!
