I submitted both of the following:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-saintandre-header-im-00

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-saintandre-header-pres-00

I'm not sure what you mean by "feature". According to RFC 2779, IM and
presence are separate domains of functionality, which is why there is an
im: URI scheme and a pres: URI scheme. I don't foresee other such URIs.

What are "these schemes"? What is the category under which it is
perceived that the im: scheme and the pres: scheme are the same? Again,
according to RFC 2779, RFC 3859, and RFC 3860, these are separate and
distinct domains of functionality, which just happen to often be
implemented and deployed in the same systems or services.

Because it doesn't include every URI scheme under the sun? ;-)
