I was going to ask, As an opening question has consideration been given
to registering DOI as a URI scheme?  My memory is that DOIs are written
in a format that is compatible with URI syntax.

But the Wikipedia page says "Most legal Unicode characters are allowed
in these strings, which are interpreted in a case-insensitive manner."
So DOI syntax is not compatible with URI syntax.  And what "case
insensitive" means in a fully internationalized context is (in my
memory) not well-defined.

So yes, there are going to be some complexities.
