Internet-Draft draft-morrison-alter-uri-scheme-03.txt is now available. Title: The 'alter' URI Scheme for Dispatchable ~handle References Author: Blake Morrison Name: draft-morrison-alter-uri-scheme-03.txt Pages: 22 Dates: 2026-08-31 Abstract: This document defines the alter URI scheme as a dispatchable reference syntax for ~handle identity references published under the DNS substrate defined in [MCPDNS]. An alter: URI binds a textual ~handle reference to a resolution and verification procedure that retrieves the handle's envelope from the publishing zone, validates the envelope's signature chain, and dispatches the result to an operating-system URI handler. The reference may be scoped to an organisation, narrowed to a named facet of the identity, and addressed to a typed action surface. The scheme is the addressing form of the ~handle@org:facet/action reference; its resolution semantics are those of [MCPDNS], reused without modification. The scheme is provider-neutral, introduces no new cryptographic primitive, and reuses the resolution and verification procedures of [MCPDNS] without modification. The principal contribution is a single, self-verifying dispatch surface for handle-typed references: clicking, typing, or scanning an alter: URI yields a verified handle resolution rather than a free-text string or an unauthenticated fetch, and where an action is addressed it yields a verify-before- side-effect dispatch. This document requests provisional registration of the alter scheme with IANA per [RFC7595] Section 3.
