The algorithm there seems to be lacking a clear definition of "matches"
which deals reasonably with the issues surrounding matching and equivalence
for Unicode strings, or the handling of character sets in IRIs which are
not represented in UTF8.

Suggestion (Editorial): Move the definition of the mapping algorithm
into the URI scheme registration document so that its definition can
be reviewed for completeness.
Suggestion (Technical): Define exactly and precisely what "match" means
and make it clear what the appropriate response or error conditions are
if there is more than one file that "match"es.
