As a followup, I was wondering what people consider to be best 
practices when using a persistent URL service like purl.org.  For my 
bibTeX in OWL schema [1] the PURL for the namespace is

http://purl.oclc.org/NET/nknouf/ns/bibtex

That PURL, when resolved (it goes to the schema definition), already 
has the # appended.  On the other hand, I could leave the # sign off of 
the PURL and the namespace would be

http://purl.oclc.org/NET/nknouf/ns/bibtex#

Does anyone have feelings one way versus the other?

Cheers,
