Re: [ogpx] URI schema for virtual world locations?

I generally view URI schemes as subservient to protocols: The URI  
specifies what server you talk to and what you send it.  For example, <http://example.com/foo 
 > tells you to send a request to example.com with "/foo" as the  
request URI.  So I would think that the elements of the URI would come  
out of the fields that we end up having in the protocol, rather than  
some information model that we come up with specifically for the URI.
