3) ** Reuse URI schemes ** http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#URI-scheme includes "Good practice: Reuse URI schemes" "A specification SHOULD reuse an existing URI scheme (rather than create a new one) when it provides the desired properties of identifiers and their relation to resources." The draft suggests there are many other schemes (with merit) already proposed, but that these existing efforts, "rather than identify packaged resources from the outside, widget URIs identify them only on the inside of a package, irrespective of that package's own location.", but this seems to indicate that the requirements for "widget" URIs are weaker, not stronger. Suggestion: Supply use cases where reuse of existing schemes (including "thismessage:/") do not provide the desired properties of identifiers and their relation to resources. Alternate Suggestion: Withdraw registration of "widget:" and reference existing scheme. Alternate Suggestion: Provide guidelines so that "widget:" can be used for other applications that need a way of referencing components within ZIP packages; rename "widget:" to use a scheme name that is appropriate for this broader application. AWWW Suggestion: add guideline: "Make New URI Schemes Reusable If You Can't Reuse URI schemes".
