   In some ways, URL schemes bear some resemblance to top level domains
   in their role as a root of a naming authority and in the desire of
   some organizations to 'own' the 'short name'; the uproar over a private
   use of 'tv' without apparent consensus of the TV community would not be
   there if the name of the URL scheme were 'directtv-tune:', as 
   draft-ietf-urlreg-procedures-07.txt might propose.

This is the first I have heard of any "uproar" over the use of "tv:."
In my experience reviewing this issue, I've only support or
indifference to it.  Never an "uproar."

Now, there have been questions about the RFC _process_, but those have
nothing to do with the technical merits of the issue.
