Hi Alex,

A quick scan of the URI schema registry and top-level domains yields 
several matches. For example:

'ws': WebSocket and Western Samoa
'ar': Arweave (provisional) and Argentina
'mt': Matter protocol and Malta
'info'

I'm sure there are many more! Perl script left as an exercise to the 
reader.
