Martin,

Seems a reasonable suggestion and you seem to have considered a few
points about it that are not immediately obvious. The security
consideration about allowing the user to inpect the URI before it is
dereferenced is very well taken.

Some minor nits:

In the Abstract, "out-of-bound" should be "out-of-band".

In section 2 - specification - you say "and encoded as per the
plaintext encoding rules for URLs defined in [Bern94b]". I interpret
this to mean angle brackets and a colon-delimited scheme identifier.
That much certainly seems reasonable. My concern is if the plaintext
encoding rules say any more than that. I don't want to forclose any
other URI schemes that might do something inside the "opaque string" that
differs from URLs. The recent thread about the use of colons inside
URNs is a specific example.

Ron
