Hi,

first of all, I was surprised to hear that there a "tv" URI scheme. 
Turns out, it hasn't been published through the IESG, and the URI scheme 
hasn't been registered through IANA.

I do agree with your analysis that the URI scheme in itself is 
insufficient. Maybe this would have been discovered if it would have 
been published through the IESG.

Now, as an informational spec what it says may be OK - it just documents 
what some vendors (probably mainly in the US) have been using.

Now if what you're looking for is a URI to be used on the Internet, 
requirements are higher. In particular, you should demonstrate that you 
actually need a URI scheme, which is not completely obvious to me.

Best regards, Julian
