javascript URI scheme not registered - spec seems to be missing

[Graham Klyne <[e-mail]>]

Digging around a question recently posed to me reveals that the commonly-used
(pseudo-)URI scheme 'javascript:' is not registered [1], and I also note that
the specification [3] noted by one web site [2] is no longer available.

BTW, the web page [4] ("What schemes are out there?") might be a useful resource
in considering what schemes might be candidates for provisional registration
(possibly with health warnings) if they're not already registered.
