no, it was just a small bugfix in the 'URI purism' category. :)

the real work consists in, imho,

1) accepting that there will always be multiple protocols, instead of
trying to find one protocol that is better than all other protocols

2) building one client that speaks all enough protocols so that
everybody becomes reachable in as many different ways as possible
(following, sending a private message, chat, etcetera). Friendica is
quite far with this i think, they have a lot of plugins that speak
several different protocols.
