A quick diff suggests this is the same as what had been up in github, with
 - rfc2xml template changes
 - s/recognize/recognise/ 
 - breaking about:blank into section §5.1.1
 - using a MAY in §5.2¶1
 - saying "Note: " in §5.1¶2
All of which sounds great, and I've incorporated into the current branch an http://github.com/josephholsten/about-uri-scheme.

The current branch also includes
- s/Internationlized/Internationalized/
- s/refered/referred/

What seems to be left, none particularly important:
- add an example using a query param. about:cache?device=offline is a gecko example, I don't know of one in more than a single rendering engine.
- enclose non-terminal ABNF rules in angle brackets instead of quotes per RFC5234. Currently I'm using style=verb here, and style=vdeluxe proves it's possible to have a style that wraps in "<" and ">". Either I can patch xml2rfc, just hard code it into the source, or the buddha will show me a third way. I'm assuming I'll be hard coding it.

And I'd love it if there was a way to make Encoding Considerations and Normalization less awful to read. All I want to say is that normal encoding and normalization procedures apply, we're not trying to use any special cases. Instead I have 200 words of jargon.

Is that all that remains?
