The registration calls "rsync" both a protocol and an application. I believe that only the latter is true, given that the protocol is not specified anywhere stable other than in the code of the application. This is a sore point for many people, myself included.

Please update the URI request to change "protocol" to "application" in the two places it is used. At that point, the URI reviewers can decide whether or not they want to approve the registration for an application-specific URI. I am generally against such registrations, but in this case is makes sense.
