In retrospect, the definition of the “http” and “https” schemes (i.e. RFC 
7230) should have probably enumerated clearly which name registries were 
acceptable for those schemes, so that the following language from RFC 7320 (a 
BCP) could be invoked against any attempt by an app – Onion or anyone else -- 
to inject their own unique brand of “specialness” into the interpretation of 
the Authority component of their URIs

To echo Mark’s rebuttal of this statement, I would like to ask what benefit 
would be served by doing so, please?

Thanks,
