The above notes seem to be properly backed the following excerpts from RFC 1737, "Requirements for Uniform Resource Names", Section 2, "Requirements for functional capabilities": | ... | It is intended that the lifetime of a URN be permanent. | ... | | URNs can be assigned to any resource that might conceivably | be available on the network, for hundreds of years. | ... IMO, the concepts of "example URNs" and "testing URNs" seem to be fundamentally incompatible with these requirements. For the latter, rapid software development for testing of namespace management and resolution systems can be furthered by "early reservation/assignment" of URN Namespace IDs by IANA (as soon as urn-nid mailing list and expert review "thumbs up" is obtained for a new URN Namespace proposal.
