I still don't see what this has to do with "location" vs "naming". You can start with a locator and overload it as a name, or you can start with a name and overload it as locator. The former has been done a lot with HTTP URIs, the latter is what you seem to try to do with URN resolution.

"A 303 response to a GET request indicates that the requested resource does not have a representation of its own that can be transferred by the server over HTTP. The Location URI indicates a resource that is descriptive of the target resource, such that the follow-on representation might be useful to recipients without implying that it adequately represents the target resource. Note that answers to the questions of what can be represented, what representations are adequate, and what might be a useful description are outside the scope of HTTP and thus entirely determined by the URI owner(s)." -- <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-18.html#rfc.section.7.3.4> > ...
