    err, correction.  We're in the process of registering
      the application/xrd+xml MIME type.  I don't think there are plans
      to register the xri:// URI scheme, since I believe XRI 3.0 uses
      standard http URLs.  Drummond (or John, etc) can correct me on
      that if I'm wrong.
    Could you please refer me to the working draft of XRI 3.0
    specification?  I can't find it on XRI TC web page.

    

    Anyway, even though the new version is going to deprecate use of
    'xri' scheme in URI mapped from XRIs, I think it will necessary to
    register the scheme for record, maybe in Historical category
    (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4395#section-4); but for now, while
    work on XRI 3.0 is still being made, Permanent category should be Ok
    (RFC 4395 allows transition between categories, so once XRI 3.0 is
    published, deprecating the scheme, it may be marked as historical as
    well).

            this actually came up on the list very recently and we're in
            the process of getting it registered. Thanks for the
            reminder though. :)

 Hi all,

                              

                              Reading the XRI TC specification and
                              seeing the IANA registry for URI schemes (http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes.html),
                              I've noticed that the 'xri' URI scheme,
                              used when mapping XRIs to URIs/IRIs, isn't
                              yet registered there.  Since there is a
                              claimed use of this scheme name, I think
                              it is necessary to officially register the
                              scheme with IETF/IANA.  This might be done
                              via publishing the Informational RFC.  So what's your opinion?  If you think it is a good
                              idea, I may help as an editor of an
                              appropriate document.
