VersionMeta tag used on websites is not an URI

[grv87]

http://versionschema.org says:

The subtitle and browser window/tab title of this page; both contain a URI within curly braces that is a Version Meta tag

If I see it correctly then the VersionMeta tag is VSchemaInDev.0.

But it is not a valid URI according to RFC 3986:

The scheme and path components are required, though the path may be empty (no characters)

Thanks, I'll look into it as soon as I have some spare cycles. I think I am going to have to come up with a different name for it. The goal is that tooling would know how to look up names that aren't fully qualified URI's. In fact, I was planning on offering a free service for that purpose, but their would be an extremely limited number of short-names. SemVer-2.0.0 would of course be one of them.

How about registry of version schemas, using SPDX License List as an example?

Ya, all we really need is a very simple key value pair service. Hmmm... I wrote one of those once ;).

I wonder if we shouldn't resurrect the URN concept?

We might even be able to get rid of the curly braces, or at least make them optional:

urn:vs:name_of_scheme

I believe I fixed this in PR #9.
