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.
