If I create a URI scheme where the scheme name is "http://www.xythos.com/storageServer/locktoken/", without registering this with the IETF, it can still meet the uniqueness guarantee. For that matter, a sufficiently long randomly generated set of characters, as long as it meets the URI formatting requirements, statistically meets the uniqueness guarantee. Lisa
