I'm late to this thread, but wanted to be a little more clear about IANA's role in this. IANA reviews URI registrations to see if they're complete and unique etc, but not to see if they're a good idea or to enforce or encourage any architectural policy. High-level review about what to do comes from - the URI@w3.org mailing list, this list - IANA's expert reviewer, Graham Klyne, who generally does not push HTTP for all purposes - the IETF-wide review done in IETF last call (often silence ensues at this phase) - the IESG during IESG evaluation, lately the most difficult party to satisfy Hope this helps explain who might have taste or policy issues with new URI schemes.
