Why was it necessary to develop the INFO URI scheme?

<< The INFO URI scheme was developed from within the library and publishing communities to expedite the referencing by URIs of information assets that have identifiers in public namespaces but have no representation within the URI allocation. For various reasons (both cultural and technical) the creation and registration of a new URI scheme or URN namespace to support a given public namespace under the URI allocation may not have been attempted by the authority for that namespace. It is precisely to facilitate the representation of these public namespaces within the URI allocation that the INFO URI scheme was developed.
