If your belief is genuine, and not pure comptempt of your competition as it 
resents it, can you document:

1. you warranty these scheme will prevent conflicts
2. will support a simple format such as 
x-schemes:name.subname:address:date-etc.
3. will address the right of billions of users to document the way they 
want 20.000 languages in thousands of regions, the languages and scripting 
variations they may chose (private use is for that).

If you can seriously document this I will drop my demand.

>We have discussed these arguments and reached a decision; let us move on.

Can you document that long and interesting discussion?
We are in Last Call. Those who do not support your decision are supposed to 
oppose it.
This applies to the comments of Randy and Addison and to the silence of Martin.
Sorry, I do not make the rules. As they are they helped the Internet to 
survive.
