Re: [Uri-review] ssh URI

[David Booth <david at dbooth.org>]

I don't see a need to define a new URI scheme for this.  You can just
define an http URI prefix for this purpose, as described in
http://dbooth.org/2006/urn2http/

Furthermore, as Graham Klyne suggested during a similar discussion
earlier, "an HTTP URI can also retrieve a protocol [handler]
implementation"
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/2009Sep/0029.html
This could dramatically improve the adoption rate of a new protocol.
