This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
a) Not sure this is a good idea; see http://www.mnot.net/blog/2011/08/24/distributed_hungarian_notation_doesnt_work for more thoughts on this. b) Independently from that: the URI scheme registration doesn't allow reserving a prefix right now. If you really really think this is a good idea, you should engage with the IETF URI/IRI community (which happens to have a open WG that currently revises the registration document). In the absence of a change in the registry, I'd expect this to be labelled "willful violation of RFC 4395".
