I really think this suggestion is breaking standards. URI:s are higly
standardized, and we shouldn't break standards just because it's
possible. Daniel Veillard has for a long time been fighting for only
using standards-compatible URIs in GNOME, I'm sure he has something to
say about the current and proposed use in GnomeMeeting too. :-)
