Thank you for the your pointers. I should have addressed both of your
concerns (see inlined)

Added the following to the example section

It is important to note that even though IALA is the maintainer of the MRN
URN namespace it cannot define MRNs outside of the "urn:mrn:iala" namespace.
All of the above examples that are not in the "urn:mrn:iala" namespace,
requires that the relevant organization explicitly requests an Organization
ID with IALA.

If adopting existing non-URN based identifier systems that includes
characters not allowed by the URN syntax as specified in [RFC8141].
The representation of these characters should be handled by
percent-encoding
the character as specified in Section 2.1 of the URI specification
[RFC3986].
