Any reason why URI shouldn't support the irc: scheme?
True, irc: doesn't appear to be in the
official list of schemes
But... Well, this URI restriction prevents me from adding
irc://irc.mongueurs.net/#perlfr
to
http://del.icio.us, which is a pity.
(and it's possibly what prevents me from putting a link to the above IRC URL in this forum message!)
The del.icio.us site returns a somewhat embarrassing page with this error:
System error
