Dave, please take a look at draft-ietf-iri-4395bis-irireg. This was an
effort to update 4395 for many of the issues you raise as well as
updating 4395 for IRIs. Work on it paused when the IRI WG imploded.

If you ignore the changes oriented around IRIs, does what is documented
there solve the problems that you bring up? (I admit I have not taken
your document and done a side-by-side check.)

The editors of that draft have discussed resurrecting work on that draft
without the IRI working group, but haven't received the kick in the
pants needed to do so.
