...Some are URNs,...
LOL!! I was hoping to reduce it to one term but instead now we have three.. Fortunately URN has the same syntax, it is just a custom scheme. The way I deal with that is that the user can parse the urn as a URL, check the scheme, and then apply the scheme-specific syntax rules for subdelimiters to the individual parts.
Some people would be confused by calling them "URIs" and those who know better will know that as well. Having said that, the docs should call out RFC support and URI compatibility explicitly, so that people aren't left wondering.
Yes I agree, I added that to the list of tasks. Thanks
