This is not an URI because an URI would start with the protocol name.

Wouldn't it be nice if a location URI would have a clear meaning
even if it was mentioned in an email (or anywhere, thus)?

Even if vwrap:// isn't a standard yet, I think URI's should be like http://
and file://.

So,

vwrap://secondlife.com/region%20name/x/y/z

seems a candidate?
