Registering a URI scheme

Our TC’s work item 
https://github.com/oasis-tcs/sarif-spec/issues/182, “Register SARIF MIME type and sarif URI scheme” also proposed two other IANA registrations:

 

The URI scheme
sarif, which points to locations within a SARIF file, for example
sarif:/inlineExternalProperties/0

The media type
application/sarif-external-properties+json, describing SARIF external properties files.

 

The media type is uncontroversial, and I’m going to begin the process of registering it.

 

As to the sarif URI scheme, I’m going to read RFC7595, “Guidelines and Registration Procedures for URI Schemes”, before deciding what to do. I’m a little concerned that the limited scope of this
 construct (pointing, as it does, into a single, un-named file) might not actually qualify it as a URI.
