In retrospect, the definition of the “http” and “https” schemes (i.e. RFC 7230) should have probably enumerated clearly which name registries were acceptable for those schemes, so that the following language from RFC 7320 (a BCP) could be invoked against any attempt by an app – Onion or anyone else -- to inject their own unique brand of “specialness” into the interpretation of the Authority component of their URIs

To echo Mark’s rebuttal of this statement, I would like to ask what benefit would be served by doing so, please?

Thanks,
