I'm getting less and less comfortable with the way this
   spec. implicitly overrides the RFC-3986-mandated semantics of URIs
   in various ways, when indeed doing so actually diminishes rather
   than enhances its functionality.  Please think again about this.

I note the spec. doesn't even _reference_ 3986, despite referering to
'URI' in a BNF production in a way which I _assume_ is meant to pick
up the same-named production from 3986.  Or the IRI production from
3987.  This should be made clear and explicit.
