There was a long thread about that topic on the list. I still don't 
agree with the notion of ownership.

Or if I would like to find an idea of consensus on this issue, it would 
be good to explain and define precisely what the TAG means by 
"ownership"

[[[
	It is useful for a URI scheme to establish a unique relationship 
between a social entity and a URI; this is the case for the "http", 
"mailto", "ftp", and "urn" schemes, for example. This relationship is 
called URI ownership.
]]]- http://w3c.test.site/TR/2004/WD-webarch-20040816/#def-uri-ownership

And
[[[
URI ownership
The relationship between assigning agent and URI that is defined by a 
URI scheme.
]]]

I think that would be worthwhile to define ownership precisely, clearly 
BEFORE to discuss any kind of agreement on this issue.
