Actually, simply system independent of the WWW and http. Other systems, other purposes. All it has to do is work. As has been established clearly, an identifier is as persistent as the system for which it is declared is maintained. len From: www-tag-request@w3.org [mailto:www-tag-request@w3.org]On Behalf Of Roy T. Fielding This is really disappointing, but entirely predictable. People (and governments) are being sold on URNs based on a false pretense -- that being "location independent" makes an identifier more persistent. To make matters worse, they assume that NZL will forever remain the three-letter code for New Zealand. *sigh* ....Roy
