Description Pratul Dublish 2008-03-04 16:44:58 UTC 
Minor comment #2 from http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2008Mar/0001.html

"URI scheme" has an existing official use which caused at least this
reader huge confusion on first reading -- RFC 3986 uses that phrase to
identify 'http', 'ftp', 'mailto', 'https', etc. !  Could another
phrase, perhaps 'URI approach', be used?
Comment 1 Pratul Dublish 2008-03-06 17:24:08 UTC 
I believe that this was fixed in the LC draft by using the term "SML URI Reference Scheme"
