From the TAG f2f minutes:
[ChrisL]
now://example.org/car
Where 'now' is defined to be a
non-dereferencable protocol
Other than this short statement, I couldn't find any other references in the
minutes about this idea.
Graham Klyne separately suggested:
http://id.ninebynine.org/people/gk/ to identify a person
and
http://www.ninebynine.org/Ident/people/gk/ to identity a web page.
With a small twist, that could be:
now://www.ninebynine.org/Ident/people/gk/ to identify a person
and
http://www.ninebynine.org/Ident/people/gk/ to identify a web page
From the viewpoint of a web developer, it makes sense to differentiate
between network-accessible and non-network-accessible resources. A trivial
transform ('now:' -> 'http:') can provide additional details on the abstract
thing-that-means-whatever-the-DNS-owner-defines-it-to-be.
Thoughts from the TAG?
