A few quick comments:

The draft talks about "the URN resolver" in a way that I would prefer "a URN resolver", i.e., not imply there are many.

The normative language looks odd in some places. For example, "a large union catalog CAN be used ..."
But "CAN" is not a 2119 term.  A digital copy "MAY be found with the ISBN of the printed material.
But this is not a normative requirement or directive for any implementation, I don't think.
Similarly with "the national bibliography MAY be able ..."  
"Some users MAY prefer ..."

I'd say that at least in the part of the document I glanced at, the most of the uses of 2119 terms look quite suspicious.
