No, I think it's fine.  Let's see what happens.  It could be helpful
text for some readers, I was just pointing out that some questions may
arise.

You have it in a couple of places already, so consistency would be
easier to argue if you felt it was needed in the places where it is
already, hence my comment.  I can't be sure what the URI style police
will say, but consistency helps in most situations.  If this is
specific to an example, that's fine.  If the general pattern could be
a URI (not a URL), then just be sure that is clear in the text.

Please let me know when it is ready and I'll start the IETF last call.

Thanks,
Kathleen
