Re: [Uri-review] Review Request of new URI Scheme

Hmmm - as I see it, the primary problem with this request is that it 
seems to confuse a string with the format "xxx:" with something that 
might be called  URI.

The usage given:

Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync("ms-settings-power:");

suggests from the name that the author(s) of the method intended to 
launch URIs. However, the *only* place that this alleged URI scheme 
might be useful is apparently in conjunction with this particular API. 
So this method is launching strings, some of which have a special 
format. That doesn't make it a URI.

Picking this apart in the literal sense:

  - Uniform - not really - at least not in the sense that it can be used 
in other places where URIs can be found. I couldn't use this in Java, I 
can't use it from my Mac, and and I cannot even use it from a Windows 
desktop.
  - Resource - the abstract resource indicated here seems to be a 
specific application. But it isn't a resource from most places where you 
might find a URI (a web page, an Android phone, an instance of an XML 
document that uses the XML Schema anyURI type)
  - Identifier - Not even sure that what this is identifying is 
consistent over time.
