I'm feeling blindsided again, by yet another URI scheme proposal popping up in the HTML 5 spec. Without, say, having been floated as an I-D first with the rationale posted to, say, uri@w3.org -- where it wouldn't have escaped my notice. That's the accepted, open way, where nobody in the community feels left out... Otherwise, it seems like the solution was created first, with the rationale evolving later, to counter the criticism. I wouldn't feel that way if the URI community had discussed it *before* it popped up in the spec, as a fait accompli you're only interested in _clarifying_ rather than actually entertaining alternative ideas "we" apparently already considered and rejected... -Eric
