[GoogleCodeExporter]

PROBLEM:
Hyperlink references using the itms-books protocol (recommended by Apple in 
Assets Guide 4.9) generate a warning.

METHOD:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. An include html/xhtml document contains a link in the form of <a 
href="itms-books://<A_VALID_IBOOKSTORE_BOOK_URL>"

RESULT:

Epubcheck 3.0b4 (haven't check b5) posts a warning: WARNING: 
<EPUB_NAME>/<DOC_REF>(<LINE>,<COLUMN>): use of non-registered URI schema type 
in href: itms-books://itunes.apple.com/...

EXPECTED:

No warning required.

PLATFORM:

EPC 3.0b4, OS X 10.6.8

Typo on Method / Step 1: I meant "An included html/xhtml document..."

Unfortunately and as mentioned before, EpubCheck can not go into the field of 
blessing vendor specific constructs.
