Section 7.4 shows how to convert a "coap+ws://" URI into a "wss://"
URI, using a well-known URI in the "wss" scheme. However, "wss" is not
defined to use well-known URIs, so this is an invalid use. 

This incorrect use of RFC 5785 is indeed embarrassing.  More about that later.

To close this loop -- the change in -08 isn't sufficiently prominent IME; while 
the general nature of the change is listed in the Abstract, the actual 
normative text is very hard to find. Given that this is a pretty fundamental 
change in the operation of a URI scheme, I'd think it at least deserves its own 
section, if not a separate document.
