The arrangement java.net.URL uses to locate URLStreamHandlers for URL schemes
does not work if the scheme contains a '-', '+', or a '.'. Those characters
are permitted in URL schemes by RFC 2396, but are not permitted in Java
package names, which is how the handlers are found.
In particular, RFC 1738 specifies that experimental URL schemes should start
with "x-", so there is particular reason to support dashes.
