RFC 2717 reserves "-" in scheme names for non-IANA trees, and as far as I can tell none have been registered, and until there is such a registration - should not be found in a scheme name. (No provision is made in RFC 3986 for the use of schemes that do not conform with RFC 2717). This is a very good example of the possible dangers of overly agressive checking: "currently, there are no scheme names with '-'" -> "let's check for that". This is very dangerous, because once deployed, it is very difficult to upgrade such implementations. I'm sure that at least the URI spec contains some language in this direction, but I wasn't able to find it just now. Regards, Martin.
