In several places 3987bis uses "plain text" where I think it means
"running text"...

      Delimiters "<" (U+003C), ">" (U+003E), and '"' (U+0022): Appendix
      C of [RFC3986] suggests the use of double-quotes
      ("http://example.com/") and angle brackets (<http://example.com/>)
      as delimiters for URIs in plain text.

      Many applications (for example, mail user agents) try to detect
      URIs appearing in plain text.

The same might be true of this sentence:

      Tags (U+E0000-E0FFF): These characters provide a way to language
      tag in Unicode plain text.
