Update: I'm happy with the changes in -05.  I particular like the new version of Section 4.1.  And I'm happy with Informational, given the recent changes.

A few comments about the ABNF in section 3:

   label = ( ALPHA / DIGIT )
   name = label 1*( label / "-" / "." / "_" )

First of all, I suspect the "1*" is incorrect. Are you really saying that a 1 character label is not legal, but a 2 character label is? Also, the above ABNF allows names like "A...---..." or "1____". Is that really what you want? Suggest:

   name = label *( [ "-" / "." / "_"] label)

That's one or more ALPHA or DIGIT, optionally separated by a single hyphen, period, or underscore. I'm not sure that's what you want, but it seems more sane than the what you've got.

   reserved = loa / al / num
   loa = ( "l" / "L" ) ( "o" / "O" ) ( "a" / "A") *DIGIT
   al = ( "a" / "A") ( "l" / "L") *DIGIT
   num = *DIGIT

This can be tremendously simplified. Remember that in ABNF, any string enclosed in double quotes is by definition case insensitive, so your alternate uppercase and lowercase is redundant. Furthermore, what you are really saying is "Either 'LOA' or 'AL' (upper, lower, or mixed case) followed by digits, or just digits". The following covers all cases:

reserved = [ "LOA" / "AL" ] *DIGIT

What is the expectation for stability of the URI and URL
elements of a registration? Should an expert disallow e.g.
bit.ly or a blog URL? I think it'd be good to say something
here. I don't care what you choose for any of the
reasonable choices:-)
