RE: Registering the about: URI scheme

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.
