I have at least one question about how you (or W3C, or any of us)
plan to head towards some reasonable level of completeness with
that work. (This may be a bit of an aside in the current discussion,
or maybe not, I'm not sure.)

The draft at the URL above includes [1], which is a risibly small
and fixed (?) subset of an IANA registry. [2] What's the plan for
making that sensible? I would assume pointing at the IANA registry
is the simple and obvious fix there, but am puzzled as to why that
hasn't been done in the few years this text has been around.

Is that just an oversight? Or is your work really only covering
exactly that particular subset of schemes? Or something else?

Thanks,
S.
