[iri] #106: Restore text about reverse domain name use for private URI/IRI schemes

#106: Restore text about reverse domain name use for private URI/IRI schemes

 4395bis removed the following text from RFC 4395:

    Organizations that desire a private name space for URI scheme names
    are encouraged to use a prefix based on their domain name, expressed
    in reverse order.  For example, a URI scheme name of com-example-info
    might be registered by the vendor that owns the example.com domain
    name.

 The reason is that there were no actual usages. But now, there is a use
 (see http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/prov/com-eventbrite-
 attendee), as reported at http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/uri-
 review/current/msg01548.html.

 I guess we should restore this text.
