I want to be clear that I am not proposing the adoption of a "single URI scheme", nor am I advocating "imposing" anything. I have no doubt that there will eventually be many different URN schemes in use. I am simply suggesting this as an IANA-registered URN scheme that can be used right now for namespaces. - Stephen
