I suggest that the ";type=" syntax be dropped, as it does not seem to
be widely implemented. In practice, dereferencing is done by guessing.
> Title : The gopher: Scheme

Should this be stripped down to handle only Gopher and not Gopher+?
My sense is that Gopher+ URLs were never implemented and should
be allowed to go historic.

> Filename : draft-hoffman-news-nntp-uri-00.txt

The next draft should either explain the difference between the news
and nntp schemes or state explicitly that there is none.

Should this scheme be allowed to become historic along with RFC 1738?

They should be updated.
