RFC 6451 says it is compatible with RFC 5222, which specifies service
URNs; I think if it were to relax from a managed namespace to any URI
(or even HTTP URIs), then I think you'd need to update at least 6451,
and maybe 5222.

If you don't want interoperablity, you could use a UUID, with a
mapping known only to the application.  But I suspect the value is in
some intersection of interoperablity, human readability, and
uniqueness.
