... 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. Craig
