I'd rather be more explicit in the section 2.5 considerations
than make the form longer. I'm thinking of expanding

   "URI scheme definitions SHOULD be compatible with that specification."

to something like

   "URI scheme definitions SHOULD be compatible with RFC 3987, and,
   if URIs of the scheme contain any text fields, the scheme definition
   MUST describe the ways in which characters are encoded and any
   compatibility issues with Internationalized Resource Identifiers
   of the scheme."

Well, something like that....
