 >A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a compact sequence of
 >characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource.  This
 >specification defines the generic URI syntax and a process for
 >resolving URI references that might be in relative form, along with
 >guidelines and security considerations for the use of URIs on the
 >Internet.  The URI syntax defines a grammar that is a superset of all
 >valid URIs, allowing an implementation to parse the common
 >components of a URI reference without knowing the scheme-specific
 >requirements of every possible identifier.  This specification does
 >not define a generative grammar for URIs; that task is performed by
 >the individual specifications of each URI scheme.
 >
 >This is now a Standard Protocol.
 >
 >This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
 >Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
 >improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
 >Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
 >and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
