Proposal:

1) Put parsing rules in a 2.1 subsection, and OData ANBF in a 2.2 subsection.
2) In Parsing rules, shorten text of first step to:

Split undecoded URL into components scheme, hier-part, query, and fragment

The text currently says

Split undecoded URL into components scheme, hier-part, query, and fragment at first ":", then first "?", and then first "#"

The query part is optional, and the fragment may contain the question mark character, so the description is incorrect.

Don't try to capture the RFC3986 ABNF into concise and correct text.
