I just looked at https://godaddyregistry.github.io/doc/index.html
again.  Since it's a web page linking to a couple of dozen web pages,
it's hard to get an overall sense for it.  But it seems to me that it
would be much better as documentation for the URNs if there was an index
that was a table of URNs (or URN groups, perhaps) to the pages that
defined how they are to be used.

Though I don't thing that should be gating for the namespace
registration.

But I do think the syntax description in the registration needs to be
made clearer.

    Syntax:

      urn:gdr:params:xml:ns:<extension>, where <extension> is the epp command
      extension. some examples include but not limited to:
      * <variant>: managing variants of internationalized domain names
      * <kvlist>: supplying a key value list to represent additional domain name
      registration details
      all extensions extend the base epp commands described in rfc5730.
      all extensions will be in us 7bit ascii and not exceed 32 characters.

The first sentence is good, but there's no syntax specification for
<extension>.  The following sentences suggest that "<variant>" and
"<kvlist>" could be values for the nonterminal <extension>, but that
makes no sense:

    urn:gdr:params:xml:ns:<variant>

is not a URN.

It would also help if the capitalization and punctuation were
standardized.
