Thanks!  Too often, the docs get overlooked.

+<h2><a name="uri">Connections to the Microsoft Hyper-V driver</a></h2>
+<p>
+        Some example remote connection URIs for the driver are:
+</p>
+<pre>
+hyperv://example-hyperv.com                  (over HTTPS)
+hyperv://example-hyperv.com/?transport=http  (over HTTP)

Wouldn't it be more typical to represent that as:

 hyperv+http://example-hyperv.com/

that is, qemu+ssh://... uses ssh as the transport, rather than qemu://host/?transport=ssh

+</pre>
+<p>
+<strong>Note</strong>: In contrast to other drivers, the Hyper-V driver
+        is a client-side-only driver. It connects to the Hyper-V server using
+        WS-Management over HTTP(S). Therefore, the
+<a href="remote.html">remote transport mechanism</a>  provided by the
+        remote driver and libvirtd will not work, and you cannot use URIs like
+<code>hyperv+ssh://example.com</code>.

Then again, I guess I see why not.

+<p>
+        To allow<code>Basic</code>  authentication with HTTP transport WinRM
+        needs to allow unencrypted communication. This can be enabled via the
+        WinRM commandline tool. Although this is not the recommended
+        communication mode.

s/Although/However,/

ACK.
