[...] I don't have much advice to offer; I think you've found what documentation there is, and it's not much. But I'd like to thank you for your thoughtfulness; a lot of people just squat in URI scheme space without notifying anybody, as far as I can tell. I try to maintain an informal index of schemes... http://www.w3.org/Addressing/schemes but I find it disheartening. It seems that I find a handful of unregistered schemes every day. I feel obliged to note the schemes here in uri@w3.org and invite the developers to register their schemes, but I don't often get around to it. Help with that sort of thing is much appreciated. Hmm... here's a bit of advice: whatever you end up doing, please write a one-page internet draft about it. http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.txt > So... what's a would-be URI scheme inventor to do?
