I'm not going to write the spec for you.

A definition of a URI describes it's ASCII-based syntax, it's purpose, 
and how it's used in the protocol. I think that's pretty clear from RFC 
4395.

Well, you asked how to do it, and I explained how it can be done. 
Apparently you're not happy with the answer, but that's all I can do 
from here.

By putting in "See RFC3987"? See Joseph's reply to that, and in 
particular his proposal in 
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/2009Sep/0001.html>.
