eeeeeh what a lot of changes - could have done with a 'Changes from -00'
but no matter, I think that the changes are in the right direction,
moving a lot of the proprietary material to Appendices.

The only bit I missed was having the sample file:, valid and invalid,
more or less together but that is a minor consideration.

So yes, I think that the revised structure addresses my concerns.

I think, too, that the timing is nice w.r.t the recent discussions on
the registration of URI schemes!  I would reference that draft, not
RFC4395, assuming that that draft will be ready in time for this one:-).
It means, I think, that sections 7.3 and 7.4 apply and that you should
use the short form template and include it within the file I-D.  I tend
to look at what others have done recently and RFC7252 is such an
example, albeit under the old rules.
