5.3 (grammar: I hope these are final corrections :( )

Should be
Since the current form makes it optional twice

could be
file-name /
(note the space before '/')

I suggest putting the '/' sign at the end of each line instead of at the beginning

Media type attribute
It is unclear why the valid-MIME-type production requires "parameter".
"parameter" could specify the charset and that could conflict with the @encoding attribute of the <content> element.
Also the valid-MIME-type could be replaced with the following from RFC4288
       type-name = reg-name
       subtype-name = reg-name

       reg-name = 1*127reg-name-chars
       reg-name-chars = ALPHA / DIGIT / "!" /
                       "#" / "$" / "&" / "." /

I understand that W3CMediaReg uses RFC2046 (actually RFC2048), but RFC4288 (also BCP13) obsoletes RFC2048.
So it gets blurred to me.

Path attribute
"a valid path represent a hierarchical"
Should be
"a valid path represents a hierarchical"

Version attribute
"e.g. '1.0' is not greater than '2.0'"
Could be
"e.g. '1.0' is not less than '2.0'"
a) There is no step 11, <ol> was changed to <ul> after step 4.

b) SNIFF spec basically specifies the algorithms for the resources retrieved from the network.
The statement relevant to P&C seems to be:

"   For resources fetched from the file system, user agents should use

   platform-specific conventions, e.g. operating system file extension/

   type mappings.
Therefore it is unclear what
"processing file<http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/#file> through the [SNIFF]<http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/#sniff> specification."
means (i.e. SNIFF is big, but we need just one sentence?).
Are we restricted e.g. to section 5 ("Unknown Type")?

c) The version of the SNIFF spec that is referred by P&C is 00 (by date) and it has already expired as ID.
