I have no problem with that, I just wondered if a note about the fact that
there's no specific behavior being described by the Encoding is needed.
Listing something as an algorithm when there's no definition of behavior
seems a bit odd to me.

It isn't even clear to me that it's intended for implementations to
interoperate with respect to the Encoding attribute, other than providing
the value to the application, so it makes no difference at all to the
standard what URI is used.
