[BA] Agree with Harald here.   These items are (at best) tangential and better handled (or discarded) elsewhere. 

> - I do not think it's appropriate to use "turn" and "turns" for
> indicating transport. Polluting the URI namespace with more
> configuration parameters in the form of trailing "s" is a Bad Thing.
> - Passing passwords in URIs is generally a Bad Practice. If you really
> want this in this case, please explore the implications thereof fully in
> the Security Considerations section.

> Good luck with the discussion (elsewhere)!
