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.  If the aim
is only to get about:blank fully specified, I'd suggest saying so outright,
and noting clearly that all other uses are context-dependent, with
returning about:blank recommended practice  for those unknown.

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?

Best regards, Julian
