Re: [Uri-review] ssh URI

David,

I see some definite negatives to what you are suggesting:

   1. Requires some sort of consortia or legal framework.
   2. Requires an additional resolution.  SSH is commonly used for
      administration, and so I would be loathe to add that sort of step.
   3. Requires ssh applications to understand HTTP URI schema.

Or do I misread what you are suggesting?
