Others have pointed out that it's only a page or two. In my opinion, 
that would strongly suggest a single document.

Warning: procedural nitpicking ahead!

I think we should be careful about this. uri-review@ietf.org is for 
review of URI/IRI schemes in general. This has a rather low barrier. The 
fact that it gets approved there doesn't mean that it will pass through 
the IETF standardization process. On the other hand, if the IETF 
standardizes it, it has the possibility of overriding the decision on 
uri-review@ietf.org if that should be necessary.
I'm just mentioning this here because we have been through this for 
another URI scheme.

So I think the correct use of mailing lists would be:

apps-discuss@ietf.org: (or a dedicated WG if that gets created) General 
discussion of scheme, working towards IETF standardization.

uri-review@ietf.org: Comments from URI/IRI experts, check of basic 
criteria for registrability, ...

public-iri@w3.org (the mailing list of the IETF IRI WG): General 
discussion about registration criteria for new IRI schemes, for RFC 4395bis.

tag@w3.org (I'm just mentioning this list because that's where the most 
discussion so far has taken place): General discussion as it relates to 
Web architecture.

Regards,    Martin.
