Some more substantive comments (these might need discussion):

SCP URIs should go, since there's no standard definition of SCP.

I'm a little worried that this draft will get stuck in the RFC-Editor queue
waiting for its normative reference to SFTP to be fulfilled.  It would be a
pity if SSH URIs got held up because of this.

The interpretation of the password part of userinfo isn't specified.  In
particular, it's not clear whether it only applies to "password"
athentication, or also to "keyboard-interactive".

Regarding the various kinds of parameters, the draft says that "Additional
parameters MAY be used", but doesn't specify how such parameters should be
named or what an implementation should do upon receiving such an
unrecognised parameter.
