It may be that I read this document too quickly, but I got the
impression that it is completely *valid*, but it doesn't tell me
anything, as far as I can tell, as to what these URNs will really be
used for.

Even to the point that I've never heard of the "Real Estate Standards
Organization" or what it does.  Does it produce a series of standards
that are used in the real world?  Where in those standards would these
URNs be used?

Simimlarly, the proposed syntax is just that the URNs have to be valid
URNs.  It doesn't hint that you've got any detailed plan in mind.
