I certainly don't mean trial and error! Let's try to keep this in the real
world.

We, as the BTP specifiers, have the freedom to impose structure on specific
URIs so that the information is embedded in the URI, e.g., btp-id://
btp-address://, btp://myurn?id, ...

If we agree that the current proposal helps solve both sides arguments then
we can discuss the format.
