At the very least, I think if we plan to reference without an http URL
that we would use something like URI-ish, like <mid:ABC@XYZ>. That gives
tools a better chance to say "OK, I know how to find message-ids"
(though I still think that it's much less helpful out of the box
compared to an http URL).
That would be awesome if somelike like <mid:ABC@XYZ> could be a
standard and adopted (likewise with <git:$object_id>).
I haven't checked, but are there existing/similar RFCs?
Surely somebody has tried to get <git:$object_id>
adopted by now, right?
There's https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2392. They even call it "mid:". :)
I don't know of any git URI scheme, though it's similar in spirit to
magnet: links. Those are a bit verbose, though, because they're really a
meta-format for a bunch of different content-addressable schemes.
