Hello Graham,

I noticed there was one URI scheme missing from that list of known URI schemes.

In the old Netscape Navigator web browsers, there was something like a
WYSIWYG URI scheme.  (Although I think it wasn't exactly "WYSIWYG"...
but had one of the letters different.)

I remember it coming up every now about then when you were just going
about normal web browsing.  (Back then I thought it was some kind of
bug that made it show up.)

Not sure if anyone else remembers this.
