"'Web3' scheme considered harmful to the world wide web":
Further, the `dhttp` scheme is considered harmful by some in the IETF [R1] for at least the following reasons:
1. it creates confusion by associating with the existing "http" and "https" schemes of HTTP, even though the described protocol does not use HTTP. This could be an issue for applications that use the prefix "http://"; and "https://"; to identify links within text without parsing the surrounding context.
2. ‘dhttp’ is defined to be an alias of the provisionally registered ‘web3’ scheme, and URI aliases are, in general, considered harmful to the World Wide Web [R2].
3. Using the name ‘dhttp’ appears to be an attempt to legitimise web3 [R3] by association with HTTP (the current World Wide Web’s primary interaction protocol).
