That is a good idea - I think that I will put it in a small section of its own to highlight it more.

I much prefer ivo://ivoa.net/std/UWS#rest-1.1 as the standardID.

The schema version is going to stay as http://www.ivoa.net/xml/UWS/v1.0 as per the reasoning in https://code.google.com/p/volute/source/browse/trunk/projects/grid/notes/schema-versioning/schemaVersioning.tex#298

(sorry for the googlecode reference - but the document has not been changed since then - will try to get it published as a proper note soon, so that it is on the IVOA site).
