Re: [Uri-review] [IANA #1270959] Registration of dhttp Schema name (uri-schemes)

Is there a way that we can block provisional registrations that are actively harmful?

  1) this is abusing the existing http and https schemes;
  2) alias schemes are harmful, in general; and,
  3) web3 is a scam that we shouldn't make respectable by association with HTTP.
