Re: [urn] META URN namespace registration

[[e-mail]]

This looks good to me, except possibly these:

    Namespace URN:META:MARC: contains URNs which identify the tags of

You almost certainly don't want the final ":", as that presupposes that
a sub-namespace code will follow.  Other examples use "URN:META:MARC".

    Assuming that the registered resolver base URL for urn:meta:dc is
    http://example.com/, urn:meta:dc:terms-title would be resolved by
    fetching

    http://example.com/urn:meta:dc:terms-title

After looking at these again, I realize that there is an open question
whether the prefix is "dc:terms" or "dc".  There is no mention in the
registrations that "dc:terms" is a defined sub-namespace, but nothing
rules out that it exists.  If the intended prefix is "dc", then the URN
should be "urn:meta:dc-terms-title".  If the intended prefix is
"dc:terms", it would prevent the reader from making this mistake if you
state that explicitly.  Indeed, if "dc" is expected to have
sub-namespaces, it might be useful to annotate its registration with
their names.
