Comment:

5) ** EDITORIAL USE OF URI FOR IRI **

"Throughout this specification, wherever the term URI [URI] is used, it can be replaced interchangeably with the term IRI [RFC3987]. All widget URIs are IRIs, but the term URI is more common and was therefore preferred for readability."

Seriously, do we need a W3C Guideline or Finding to cover "DO NOT REDEFINE TERMS"?
There's glory for you! (see http://www.sabian.org/Alice/lgchap06.htm ).

Suggestion: Use "IRI" since that's what is meant.
