You cannot; you could not before they were provisionally registered,
and you cannot after they are provisionally registered.

Hmm... have my comments been taken to mean that there should *only*
be a provisional registry, with no uniquness constraints? I didn't
say or mean anything like that. I support the permanent registry
with uniqueness constraints as well.

The 'rest of the standardization process' refers to the text in
the draft...


   To allow others to determine the results of technical review, the URI
   scheme registration process has two outcomes for URI scheme
   proposals: a 'provisional' status for URI schemes whose definitions
   have not been reviewed or were not accepted by the review process,
   and a 'permanent' status for those schemes that have been accepted by
   IETF review.  Review is based on general agreement that the URI
   scheme definition proposed meets the requirements in Section 2.

p.s. Wow! I-D URIs with previous version links! and datatracker links!
Look out for flying pigs!
