In order to use the NFS URL format, I think we would be compelled to correct RFC 2224, probably by issuing an RFC that supersedes it.
Why?
My impression is that may be required by the IETF citation rules. I could be wrong about that.
You could simply use the URL syntax defined in RFC 2224, section 1 (maybe redefine it in your own draft) and ignore the WebNFS-related rest of RFC 2224 if it does not fit your needs. Maybe some things from section 6 could be also considered. But personally I'm not familiar with NFS..
We can implement whatever we like (and in fact we did just that in the current NSDB schema). But there are certain constraints about what may be specified and referenced in a standards-track document.
IMHO it should be ok if you add a clear note about the non-relationship to WebNFS.
Maybe others with experience writing I-Ds and bringing them through the RFC process can comment on this.
Ciao, Michael.
