I would leave them as they are, for the reasons I gave in my previous mail
to Paul.

Additionally,  I found out that we use the word "label"  in the section 6.1
in a way which would not be consistent with the syntax above.

  " Alert URN identifiers are identified by <label>s managed by IANA,
   according to the processes outlined in [RFC5226] in a new registry
   called "Alert URN Labels".  Thus, creating a new Alert-Info URN
   identifier requires IANA action.  The policy for adding a new alert
   category is 'Standards Action'.  (This document defines the alert
   categories 'service', 'source', 'priority', 'duration', 'delay' and
   'locale'. ) The policy for assigning <label>s to <alert-indication>s
   and the rules to combine them may differ for each <alert-category>
   and MUST be defined by the document describing the corresponding
   alert category. "

Thank you
