>A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a compact sequence of
>characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource. This
>specification defines the generic URI syntax and a process for
>resolving URI references that might be in relative form, along with
>guidelines and security considerations for the use of URIs on the
>Internet. The URI syntax defines a grammar that is a superset of all
>valid URIs, allowing an implementation to parse the common
>components of a URI reference without knowing the scheme-specific
>requirements of every possible identifier. This specification does
>not define a generative grammar for URIs; that task is performed by
>the individual specifications of each URI scheme.

>This is now a Standard Protocol.

>This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
>Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
>improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
>Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
>and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
