        RFC 7320

        Title:      URI Design and Ownership
        Author:     M. Nottingham
        Status:     Best Current Practice
        Stream:     IETF

        I-D Tag:    draft-ietf-appsawg-uri-get-off-my-lawn-05.txt

Section 1.1.1 of RFC 3986 defines URI syntax as "a federated and
extensible naming system wherein each scheme's specification may
further restrict the syntax and semantics of identifiers using that
scheme."  In other words, the structure of a URI is defined by its
scheme.  While it is common for schemes to further delegate their
substructure to the URI's owner, publishing independent standards
that mandate particular forms of URI substructure is inappropriate,
because that essentially usurps ownership.  This document further
describes this problematic practice and provides some acceptable
alternatives for use in standards.

Group of the IETF.
