The proposal looks fine to me.  I see that others have noted some
editorial corrections/improvements.  I do want to emphasize:

UVCI URNs are essentially serial numbers for certificates, which
conveniently avoids them containing any particularly sensitive
information, as long as they are constructed properly.

And since the format contains a version number, the system can be
redesigned to accommodate new requirements.
