Re: Last Call: <draft-ietf-urnbis-rfc2141bis-urn-20.txt> (Uniform Resource Names (URNs)) to Proposed Standard

[tom p. <[e-mail]>]

I would like to see

Updates RFC3986

on this.

It says
"   discussions of URNs and URN namespaces should be interpreted
   according to this document and not by extrapolation from RFC 3986.
"
which to me says that RFC3986 may not be authoritative for URN and so is
de facto updated.
