IIUC, 7315 has revised the usage so that the optionality of the URI is 
no longer needed. But the current definition still *works* with 7315. 
(The feature being proposed for removal won't be used.) So I don't see 
that there is an error to fix. The "fix" will mean that implementations 
using 3455 could fail to interoperate with implementations using 7315.

ISTM it would be better to leave the syntax unchanged, but add text 
indicating that use with an empty URI is deprecated, but should be 
accepted for backward compatibility.

	Thanks,
