But fragment identifiers are disallowed by RFC 2141. This registration 
can't go forward until the URNBIS work completes. At which point, I 
think it would be better to define real namespaces (e.g., it's likely 
that the ISBN namespace will be updated to allow f-components) instead 
of forcing it into an informal namespace.

I STRONGLY encourage the authors of this registration to read the latest 
URNBIS document and provide feedback on the urn@ietf.org list:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-urnbis-rfc2141bis-urn/

Coordination with Juha Hakala about the ISBN namespace would also be 
very beneficial.
