I'll look into this question.  I tried to explain in detail why the
*management* of the URN space requires a separate scheme.  (Or
alternatively, applying all our management rules into a subtree of
urn:ietf:params.)

I'm not sure that use of URNs outside SIP is sufficient to show that
urn:ietf:params is not suitable.

What uses outside SIP are we contemplating?  My understanding is that
the URNs are defined to indicate facts about SIP dialogs, or about how
a user is to be told about a dialog.
