It was introduced by Armin Weatherwax for Kokua and Firestorm over a 
year ago. I don't know the history of it, just the scheme. It can be 
registered with IANA when it's finalized, possibly for FS 4.4.6. It's 
more than just replacing trademarked syntax. I'll write something up 
about it from what I've gleaned from Armin's commits.

Bear in mind, this is not a Firestorm specific scheme. It originated 
in Kokua for adding grids to the gridlist from the web and grew and 
is present in all hypergrid enabled V2/V3-based viewers for OpenSim.
