I see. Is there any method to dereference the resource by adid?  That is,
to return the ad on presentation of the adid? (Note that this is not
required, but if there were such a method, it would be a welcome addition

 assigned-name = "urn" ":" NID ":" NSS

 Then follow up with the ABNF for the NID and name-space specific string.
