A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. BCP 190 RFC 7320 Title: URI Design and Ownership Author: M. Nottingham Status: Best Current Practice Stream: IETF Date: July 2014 Mailbox: mnot at mnot.net Pages: 9 Characters: 18275 Updates: RFC 3986 See Also: BCP 190 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-appsawg-uri-get-off-my-lawn-05.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7320.txt Section 1.1.1 of RFC 3986 defines URI syntax as "a federated and extensible naming system wherein each scheme's specification may further restrict the syntax and semantics of identifiers using that scheme." In other words, the structure of a URI is defined by its scheme. While it is common for schemes to further delegate their substructure to the URI's owner, publishing independent standards that mandate particular forms of URI substructure is inappropriate, because that essentially usurps ownership. This document further describes this problematic practice and provides some acceptable alternatives for use in standards.
