[Rt-devel] Replacing the "fsck.com-rt" URL scheme

So, this patch sparked a lively internal debate here at Best Practical.
Which prompted me to do a bunch of googling to figure out where I picked
up the idea for "fsck.com-rt".  

RFC 4395                    New URI Schemes                February 2006


   Organizations that desire a private name space for URI scheme names
   are encouraged to use a prefix based on their domain name, expressed
   in reverse order.  For example, a URI scheme name of com-example-info
   might be registered by the vendor that owns the example.com domain
   name.

While clearly not the reference I was originally using, it does seem to 
at least point in the same direction. (And yeah, it's incompatible with what 
we're actually doing.)  I'll see what I can dig up about actually registering with 
IANA, though I expect to get slapped down fairly brutally.
