Abstract

   This document defines a URI scheme, 'go:' to be used with the Common
   Name Resolution Protocol.  Specifically it lays out the syntactic
   components and how those components are used by URI Resolution to
   find the available transports for a CNRP service.  Care should be
   taken with several of the URI components because, while they may look
   like components found in other URI schemes, they often do not act
   like them.  The "go" scheme has more in common with the location
   independent "news" scheme than any other URI scheme.
