	Title           : Specifying transport mechanisms for retrieval or delivery of URIs

This document describes a simple extension of the URI format to allow
preferred transport mechanisms and interfaces to be specified.  This
explicit configuration is beneficial for separation of HTTP from
underlying transports, which has been increasingly recognised as
useful.  Explicit configuration in the URI for programs is valuable
when TCP, traditionally used to carry HTTP, is not present or not
desired, or when other methods of determining or negotiating the
appropriate transport method to use, e.g. the Domain Name System
(DNS), are absent.
