One remark:

I don't think it's helpful to mix *this* discussion with the 
WHAT/W3C/IETF discussion about the "URL specification" (which 
essentially is about error-tolerant parsing)

And one question:

If you followed this path, would you still be able to use 
RFC3986-conforming libraries to handle URNs?

Best regards, Julian
