Why is there no formal specification for otpauth URls?

Yes yes, Cunningham's law etc etc!

I want to play around with 2FA codes. So, I started looking for the specification. Turns out, there isn't one. Not really.

IANA has a provisional registration - but no spec.

It links to an archived Google Wiki which, as we'll come on to, isn't sufficient.

There's some doc
