draft-chen-rdns-urn Section 4 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chen-rdns-urn-06#section-4>
discusses why an enterprise might prefer to use URN over URL.  URL provides
resource access mechanism, which might mislead a customer to request that
the YANG module be accessible at a specific location.  It's true that the device
does not care that the YANG module is not at a particular URL, but I can still
imagine getting a bug requesting that the YANG module be accessible at the URL.
