ISSUE-178: Don't include colon in examples of URI scheme names

uri-scheme-notation

Don't include colon in examples of URI scheme names

State:

CLOSED

Product:

HTML 5 spec

Raised by:

Julian Reschke

Opened on:

2011-09-25

Description:

RFC 3986 specifies a ":" character as a delimiter, and everything before it in the URI is a scheme name. So it is incorrect to point to eg. 'http:' scheme because it literally leads to URI like "http:://smth.org/".

Please see <http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13721>.
