The process for registering a URI scheme is RFC 4395: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4395.html Secton 5.2 gives a step-by-step process. The process for registering a URI scheme does not require an internet draft or an RFC, and doesn't require referenced documents to be standards status. It's "expert review". I think Graham Klyne is the current "expert". I think any document with reasonably permanent access guarantees (a WD or even the Wikipedia entry for the About_protocol) is sufficient for at least provisional registration. Larry
