In article <871sci6elu.fsf@hobgoblin.ariadne.com> you write:

Wikipedia claims a lot of things.

The DOI crowd wrote a Netscape plugin to handle doi: URIs which was
abandoned a decade ago.  Now they say that the preferred syntax for
DOIs is a real URI using their gateway, e.g.

https://dx.doi.org/10.1000/182

I have noticed that dx.doi.org will also resove ITU 11.* handles but that's not documented
anywhere so I presume it's an informal hack.

>So these are equivalent, to the degree that they are defined:

>    urn:doi:10.1000/182

The info registry closed down in 2010 and although they have old
definitions for info:hdl and info:doi, I'm not aware of any
implementations.
