Thanks for this Ira - I will go for "provisional". I guess I do not need to refer to Graham by name. Roughly how long would it take for this to get convered to "permanent" (assuming that the "provisional" gets approved")? It seems to depend on it being conververted to a full RFC, which sometimes seems to take a long time. What would be an optimistic and a pessimistic estimate, assuming no major objections? (Just to help with our planning.) Thanks.

That last means "publish as an RFC", and has been the typical process for permanent URI schemes for years now.

You will see that I have now posted draft-larmouth-oid-iri-02 which contains all the corrections you suggested, and there have been no further comments on uri-review in the last couple of weeks.. It is now my intention to e-mail iana at iana.org (in accordance with RFC 4395) to request IANA to register 'oid:' as a permanent URI scheme, referencing draft-larmouth-oid-iri-02 (IANA considerations) for the registration template. If anyone on this list has problems with that, please respond in the next week. I guess that the Designated Expert for the IANA requested Expert Review is likely to be Alfred (who has been most active in reviewing earlier drafts), and will hopefully have no problems in rapidly responding to that request from IANA. I hope we can soon bring this to a conclusion. Thank you.
