In a recent announcement on the IETF-Announce mailing list, the tag URI scheme was announced as having been approved. The announcement included the following note: >Protocol Quality > >At the 2004URI BoF discussion on the appropriate registration mechanism >for URIs came to consensus on a shift to a pure registration model, >since attempts to discourage minting of new schemes has not resulted in >fewer URI schemes, only in a larger number of unregistered ones. >In the absence of a new registration document, new schemes which have >been proposed as internet-drafts are being processed with limited review. Can someone in the loop comment on this? It sounds to me as though at least the spirit of the Hansen 2717/18 draft is being operationalized in advance of its approval. I don't think this is a bad idea - indeed, I had thought about suggesting bumping this ID to the head of the queue, in as much as so many other activities depend on it. How will it change once 2717/18 is approved? It would be good to have the situation clarified by those who are administering the process.
