For which parts would you like a more detailed rationale?  It's hard
for me to guess which parts you think are obscure.

How can I make the document clearer?

The document defines algorithms for extracting information from the
Content-Type.  That algorithm, in particular, extracts the charset
attribute from the Content-Type header.  The algorithm is intended to
be reference by other specifications, such as HTML 5, which need to
determine the charset attribute of the Content-Type header is a manner
compatible with existing web content.

Is there some way I could change the I-D to make this more clear?

I'm not trying to be obtuse.  Your feedback is just not very actionable.
