This would be OK in the case if such template were already present 
somewhere.  However IANA registered these schemes before RFC 4395 and 
even RFC 2717 had appeared.  So I think adding the templates is 
necessary to remove this inaccuracy.

Then, it remained unchanged (or was present with minor changes) in RFC 2068 and finally 2616.  RFC 2616 appeared long before RFC 4395, that outlined the registration procedures for URI schemes.  What I'm pointing to?
