description
An  'info' URI with  namespace  'nyu' takes the form:
  info:nyu/<nyu-info-subspace>/<subspace-specific-string>

nyu-info-subspace
  nyu-info-subspace = ALPHA *( ALPHA / DIGIT )

  i.e. alphanumeric with leading alphabetic character.

  Values of nyu-info-subspace are assigned by NYU Libraries. 

subspace-specific-string
  subspace-specific-string = 
    subspace-specific-component *("/" subspace-specific-component) 

  subspace-specific-component
    subspace-specific-component = pchar *(pchar) 

  pchar (etc.)
    pchar is as defined in RFC 3986, that is:
    pchar  = unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" / "@"
    unreserved    = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
    pct-encoded = "%" HEXDIG HEXDIG
    sub-delims  = "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")"  / "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "="

    ALPHA, DIGIT, AND HEXDIG are as defined in RFC 2234: 
    upper or  lower case alphabetic (A-Z / a-z), decimal digit (0-9), 
    and hexadecimal digit (DIGIT / "A" / "B" / "C" / "D" / "E" / 
    "F")  respectively.

    Percent Encoded Characters  
    No characters in general need to be percent encoded.
