50        is required. If a content provider 'implements' some
51        existent URI scheme (e.g., a content provider offering
52        access to a file system would implement the 'file' scheme,
53        and a content provider offering access to IMAP servers
54        would implement the 'imap' scheme), the content identifier
55        strings should use that scheme. If on the other hand a
56        content provider offers access to content for which no
57        appropriate URI scheme exists, a vendor-specific URL scheme
58        starting with 'vnd.' must be created (see the Internet Draft
59        draft-king-vnd-urlscheme-00.txt).
