I've never seen that usage. Super searching for it I find few matches

Perl 6 discussion with people actually writing Perl 6 code has began only very recently began on PM. Compare the thousands of messages in Perl 6 mailing lists to the small number of Perl 6 related posts here, and perhaps that can explain this. Do note that AES is most often written as "A/E/S" or with some other separator, and that it's used on IRC more than in mail (afaict). (There can be no \W character in a URI scheme.)

the most recent of which (outside of this thread) is "use Blowfish or AES or some other cryptographic standard".

This may be a good reason not to use "aes" as a URI scheme. Although I have absolutely no idea how the cryptography thing could have any meaning in that part of a URI. I don't think it clashes.

Never seen that either. Doing an enhanced super search for that pattern finds that it has never been used for that purpose at PerlMonks in the last year except in this thread.

More than 10% of the 4312 messages in my perl6-language mailbox mention an AES as /[AES]\d\d/. (86 of the matching documents are written by a certain Larry Wall.) Perl Monks does not yet have a rich Perl 6 history, except discussion about its features and possible syntax. Besides that, I expect that people write it in full here, because otherwise people might not know what is meant, but see also the next comment about this.

It does help, of course, that S03 is the actual filename used for Synopsis 3: S03.pod and S03.html. See also the update in the root node.

And I doubt in 10 years "A03" will immediately trigger the proper memory while "apocalypse 3" probably will.

It does not have to trigger any memory, if A03 is a link to the document in question.

if I saw "S03" at PerlMonks, I'd have no idea what it was supposed to mean

Except, of course, if the S03 is a link to the document. Then you'd be really stupid if you still wouldn't be able to very quickly find out its meaning :)

I see myself being much more likely to want to link to a specific part of an apocalypse. At this point I doubt the official hosts of these documents have sufficiently addressed this desire, but I'll let someone else investigate and report if they care to.

The documents are generated from POD, and have useful anchors for their subsections.
