This is supposed to simply say something like "8bit" or "binary", see
RFC 4288 for details.

>Security considerations:

I have not look at these, but since this is very long, it might make
more sense to have this as part of the Security Considerations section
of the document that defines the format, and simply put a reference
into the template.

As I recall it, unlike for RFC registrations, IANA would put this in
a document on their site, so this should give a full(er) citation.

If you want to say anything about fragment identifiers, like what the
`#example` in `http://example.org/example.nt#example` refers to, or
if you want to discourage such usage, that should be included. Not a
requirement currently, but since this is an RDF type, this might be
relevant.
