As per http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2011Mar/0032.html
"IANA has *only* an administrative role. Think of them as a secretary."
What you want is the URI community in the IETF, particularily the mail-
ing list of the former URI WG and the URI scheme review mailing list,

  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/
  https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/uri-review

There does not seem to be much of a basis for such a claim, there are
all sorts of restrictions for `javascript:`, `mailto:`, `file:`, `data:`
and others, and they vary over time and between implementations.
