I claim that <draft-fielding-uri-syntax-01.txt> meets all of those
parameters, and does so in a way that can be demonstrated by current
practice.  The only thing I *would* change at this point is how scheme
prefixes are treated by the relative parsing algorithm (to better match
what has been implemented), but that has nothing to do with the URN
discussion.
