I have no objection to the publication of this document as an
Informaitonal RFC.

Following on from the transition to Informational (for which, thanks),
you might consider s/specifies/describes/  (But this is a *very*
unimportant comment!)

Just a non-blocking comment that can be resolved easily...

The Acknowledgments section appears to be incomplete.  The first sentence looks fragmented, maybe an editing mistake?

no objection if this draft is really going for informational (as listed in the draft) and not as Standards Track as listed in the datatracker.

The FCFS registration scheme could lead to anyone
registering an about-token that's in current use in a 
browser. Why isn't expert review more suitable here to
protect against such abuse? For example, nothing 
here prevents me from registering about:config, which
is used by >1 browser. I don't get why that is not
a problem. (This is almost a discuss btw, I'd really like 
to see a response if possible before the telechat.)

Why does about-token "correspond" to hier-part from 3986?
What would "about://example.com/foo/bar" mean? I'd have
thought that omitting the authority would be correct for
this scheme - why am I wrong?
