Hmm...

Unlike the Web, information on Freenet is not stored at fixed locations or subject to any kind of centralized control.

1.1. What is Freenet? in the Freenet FAQ as of Aug 2000

That's a property of http, ftp, etc., but not a property of the Web in general; e.g. it's not true of news: URIs.

https:

HTTP over SSL (defined in The SSL Protocol Version 3.0 (plain text), Freier, Karlton, Kocher, November 18, 1996 Netscape) or TLS (defined in The TLS Protocol, RFC2246, Dierks, T., Allen, C., January 1999; see also HTTP Over TLS, E. Rescorla, September 1998 (Internet Draft)); uses the same syntax as the http scheme.

I will be using the format

I hope this practice will soon be endorsed by the folks who own and operate the ISBN social process, and that they will register it with IANA.

mailto

Electronic mail address
The mailto URL scheme, P. Hoffman, L. Masinter, J. Zawinski, July 1998.
(updates URL RFC)
note that callto: and mailto: are misnomers. URIs are noun phrases. You can do other things with phone numbers than call them; for example, you could have a web page of your history with a caller pop up in response to the phone ringing (e.g. using caller id. © 1998 Jamie Zawinski <jwz@jwz.org> )

mailserver:

for mailing lists etc. (@@some internet draft???). Combine this with mailto:?
