... But the reality is that the behavior resulting from these URIs is totally non-deterministic and varies from context to context. In most contexts outside of a browser location bar, they are meaningless. Inside that context, the browser's definition seems to be definitive.

That sounds reasonable. Let's not make it more complicated than it needs to be.
As a thought experiment, would the W3C counsel against the presence of an about URI in an XML namespace?
Reminder: the reason this was written down was so that "about:legacy-compat" can be specified as XML system identifier in HTML5 (<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-doctype>).
Additionally, naming a change controller should generally be a bit more precise than an organization name. The W3C director or TAG seems more appropriate than just "W3C".
I just checked an image/svg+xml has "W3C" as change controller. Why would the requirement be different here?
