Yeah.  I'd be tempted to reject it as "vanity URI scheme in conflict
with RFC 4395 2.1 Demonstratable, New, Long-Lived Utility", but that
might be not "the right thing", and besides only the expert reviewer
(= not me) could say so.

Disclaimer, I have not yet read the 4395bis drafts, maybe 4395bis
will drop the "long-lived utility" blurb in favour of a new "above
all let's have it registered" approach.

With that out of the way, are you sure that you want an OPTIONAL
query part in the syntax?  If the query part is actually REQUIRED
for this scheme maybe remove the square brackets in the syntax:

If you happen to have a web page with more technical details please
add it to the references.  If that is not (yet) the case it is no
problem, your explanation in the registration template is clear.
