Quick thoughts and ideals:

  • Schemes are compositional, "wrapping" super contexts: c+b+a://a/b/c
  • The scheme communicates the target type (above is c)
  • URIs can be arbitrarily relative so long as they're resolved in the right contexts. Above, c+b://b/c can be resolved in the context of a://a
  • URIs are resolved by unwrapping schemes and resolving in to out
  • URL params can apply only to the target type (this is the most consistent and probably not too restrictive)
  • Trajectories from one scheme to another can be inferred from the type hierarchy; there may be many
