A good complementary action would be to poke the respective developers to
establish at least provisional URI schemes at IANA [1] so that the semantics
of the URL components can be fixated. From my own experience doing so [2] it
was communicated to me that fragment identifiers (#foo) are somewhat
problematic when used beyond of document URLs. Similarly, SVN peg revisions
(@foo) were added as an afterthought rather than part of the initial SVN
designs which reuse file, HTTP and +SSH URI schemes, and similar issues might
affect other VCSs.
