The guidelines for URI registration are in RFC4395. s2.3 expects the scheme to
have a well-defined mapping onto a namespace or protocol or there to be a good
explanation of why not.  This is not insuperable.  There is an individual
submission standards-track I-D for SMB (a protocol which could be loaded with
issues of being ill-defined, IPR-laden etc) but does, I think, meet the
requirements.
