  59. <p>I find <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr>s to be very interesting. I&apos;d say that learning about how they are designed to be used and how they are used in practice is one of my main hobbies. I keep my notes on anything I find noteworthy about them in this section of my website.</p>
    60. 

  60. <h2>Domain names</h2>
    61. 

  61. <p>When minting many types of <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr>s, a domain name is used. Some of my domain name notes were lost, but my most relevant notes that I took when deciding on a domain name and later evaluating my choice in domain names are still available.</p>
    62. 

  62. <ul>
    63. 

  63. 	<li><a href="https://y.st./en/URI_research/ccTLDs.xhtml">notes on all <abbr title="country code top-level domain">ccTLD</abbr>s</a></li>
    64.

    67. 

  67. </ul>
    68. 

  68. <h2>Schemes</h2>
    69. 

  69. <p>In addition to sometimes having a domain, all <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr>s have a scheme. Scheme-specific notes are listed here.</p>
    70.

  72. </ul>
    73. 

  73. <h2>Protocol limitations and client bugs</h2>
    74. 

  74. <p><abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr>s are limited by both the generic <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr> syntax and by their scheme-specific syntax. However, some file formats place further limitations on them. Furthermore, some clients exhibit buggy behavior and do not process <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr>s correctly. If you&apos;re trying to meet standards and/or dumb down your <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr>s so that buggy clients can handle them, you&apos;ll find my relevant notes here.</p>
