Re: URIs for the standard output and input streams

Ted reminded me that IETF-wide review and IESG evaluation aren't  
required for all URI registrations, even those for permanent status.   
IETF review and IESG evaluation may be required at the discretion of  
the expert reviewer, assuming that the author of the registration has  
not already chosen to put a document containing the registration  
through IETF review and IESG evaluation.
