If i understand correctly the last draft for news: sheme urn:ietf:id:draft-ellermann-news-nntp-uri-01 ( http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ellermann-news-nntp-uri-01 ), it allow news:* and news://server.example/*, but not news: neither news://server.example/. I have seen several time the former in usenet, but never the three first. "news:" could work like "ftp:" and "http:", as lauching the default usenet software (where is this specified in rfc 3986 ?). "news://server.example/" is like "ftp://ftp.w3.org/" and "http://www.w3.org/". Do you think that news: and news://server.example/ should be allowed ?
