Intended status: Proposed Standard

Summary: This document is almost ready for publication. It has two 
nearly-editorial changes I'd like to see considered:

- the reader has to dig to notice that there are two kinds of URIs being 
registered with different requirements in the same namespace. It would 
be nice to say this pretty clearly ("These guidelines cover both 
provisional and permanent URI scheme registrations, which are part of 
the same URI namespace"), somewhere in Section 1.

- 2.8 tries to say, "avoid trademark names", but doesn't say much about 
why this is a good idea, or (more relevant) how big a problem you have 
when someone registers your scheme name as trademark. The current text 
is probably good advice, I'm just asking if there is more guidance that 
could be provided, too.
