I don't think "perl6" is the proper tag to associate with this. It fits somewhat now, just like the person who registers at PerlMonks as "perlnewbie", because when you say "perl6" one of the most common responses (at this time) is concern about the emerging design of Perl6. Ten years from now, will people expect "perl6://" to link to the old hash-out-the-design documents for Perl6? Because ten years from now we'll still be serving nodes that use "perl6://" links.

Unfortunately, I don't have an alternate solution that I find compelling. I guess ysth's suggestion of synopsis://xx, apocalypse://xx, and exegesis://xx is less worrisome for me, though I suspect we'll get a lot of spelling questions / mistakes. Perhaps adding aliases for apoc://, exeg://, and synop:// fixes that?

Update: I also think that linking to sections within each document (they are fairly large) is particularly important here. Unfortunately, I don't think there exists a committedly long-lived hosted copy that has appropriately easy-to-link-to sections and will be kept up-to-date.
