@DBailey635 @jon There was at least a draft many years ago *searches*

@DBailey635 @jon There's a RFC even, just they went with a URI compatible `acct:` instead of the popular `@`.

@chrysn @jon Cool! Although, that's more a URI scheme than an address (like mailto: vs actual email addresses), but at least it's a start. Would be interesting to see how many web-browser makers have adopted it.

@DBailey635 @jon Browsers probably not, but in interfaces it could be used. Maybe a fedi post could use an acct: link in an @-mention, and the front end rewrites the link to open that profile in the instance's profile viewer.

@DBailey635 @jon URNs exist since May 1997 in IETF RFC and are exactly for that: naming "things", irrespective to the method used to access them (for which we have URLs)
