Scheme Registration (was Re: Appeal from Tim McSweeney regarding draft-mcsweeney-drop-scheme)

[Ben Campbell <ben@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please note Ted’s document[1] currently being discussed in (and is on the IETF108 agenda for) DISPATCH. This is probably not relevant to “What to do about this appeal” discussion, but probably is relevant to the “Registration of schemes is broken” discussion.

Thanks,

Ben.

Maybe it's time to rethink  the whole registry of schemes,  because this one isn't working.

If the URL spec moves https://url.spec.whatwg.org/ then the scheme registry should go with it.
As long as IETF non-web applications can get the registrations they need.

Then Subject appeal would be THEIR headache.
