Section 3.1.1 contains this text:

Queries for information about IP networks are of the form /ip/XXX/... or /ip/XXX/YY/...  where the path segment following 'ip' is either an IPv4 dotted decimal or IPv6 [RFC5952] address (i.e., XXX) or an IPv4 or IPv6 Classless Inter-domain Routing (CIDR) [RFC4632] notation address block (i.e., XXX/YY).

Section 3.1.2:

Queries for information regarding Autonomous System number registrations are of the form /autnum/XXX/... where XXX is an asplain Autonomous System number [RFC5396].

Section 3.1.3:

Queries for domain information are of the form /domain/XXXX/..., where XXXX is a fully qualified (relative to the root) domain name (as specified in [RFC0952] and [RFC1123]) in either the in-addr.arpa or ip6.arpa zones (for RIRs) or a fully qualified domain name in a zone administered by the server operator (for DNRs).

However, the "..." doesn't represent any additional parameters. Proposed changes:

Queries for information about IP networks are of the form /ip/XXX or /ip/XXX/YY  where the path segment following 'ip' is either an IPv4 dotted decimal or IPv6 [RFC5952] address (i.e., XXX) or an IPv4 or IPv6 Classless Inter-domain Routing (CIDR) [RFC4632] notation address block (i.e., XXX/YY).

Queries for information regarding Autonomous System number registrations are of the form /autnum/XXX where XXX is an asplain Autonomous System number [RFC5396].

Queries for domain information are of the form /domain/XXXX, where XXXX is a fully qualified (relative to the root) domain name (as specified in [RFC0952] and [RFC1123]) in either the in-addr.arpa or ip6.arpa zones (for RIRs) or a fully qualified domain name in a zone administered by the server operator (for DNRs).

What do people think about this proposal?
