I referenced both Ivan's and Ed's work in a earlier post - and yes, even suggested bringing Ed's into w3.org. Nice to see I'm not the only one who struggles to read one e-mail in 4! Bernadette's points about the Purl federation and the work done there are valuable too. The answer is, I think, that there is no single answer. It comes down to trust, as in: who do you trust to be around in 40 years' time? That, of course, is unknowable so I think I'm happiest with, again, pointing to the "this is what we mean by a stable URI scheme" in the best practices doc and then maybe giving one or two examples and finally saying that if they can't find one then "foo/bar" is a reasonable fall-back.
