Dear Eld,

*  'precision-spec' values are not case sensitive (i.e.  "PAGE" /
         "PART" / "PaGe" / ... are valid values as well.)

Having re-read the I-D, I'd say that there are two areas still unclear to me:
1) The syntax specification says
*  'precision-spec' values are not case sensitive (i.e.  "PAGE" /
         "PART" / "PaGe" / ... are valid values as well.) It says nothing about the other parts so I guess that case sensitiveness defaults to the specification in RFC 8141 §3 [1] which says that all parts of URNs are case sensitive except for the string "urn" and the NID. It would be helpful, though, if that was made explicit (including a reference to RFC 8141 §3).

2) The document refers to a (proposed) registry of archive names without giving any particulars of where this will be set up and who will manage it. If you say that there currently is no information about that, that's fine, otherwise it would be helpful to get more information on that (especially if it's going to be operated by IANA).

Best,

Lars
