Does it make sense to use the protocol names for URI schemes? Also
watching what future might bring.

That would be like:

URI protocol field      protocol        reference
sip                     SIP             [RFC3261]
sips                    SIPS (TLS)      [RFC3261]
h323                    H.323           [RFC3508] [ITU-T_H.323/4]
tel		        <unspec>        [RFC3966] (see below)

Remarks to "tel" URI scheme:
The "tel" URI describes a service, reaching a telephone number, that
is independent of the means of doing so. That is why there is no
specified underlying protocol. The call can be made vis SIP, H.323, with
prior ENUM resolving.




[RFC3261]: RFC 3261 "SIP: Session Initiation Protocol", June 2002

[RFC3508]: RFC 3585 "H.323 Uniform Resource Locator (URL) Scheme
 Registration", April 2003

[RFC3966]: RFC 3966 "The tel URI for Telephone Numbers", December 2004

[ITU-T_H.323/4]: ITU-T Recommendation H.323v.4 "Packet-based multimedia
 communications systems", November 2000
