Re: National Identification Number URIs ( NIN URIs )

Sounds like a good idea.

In the US all of the police and law enforcement organizations have unique
ID's, which the Nlets <http://www.nlets.org/> network has geo-encoded, which
in turn helps build more intelligent GIS data.

I work in the building industry with a focus on life safety and fire
departments - specifically exchanging open floor plans. But fire departments
don't have nationwide unique IDs. Let alone world wide.

The more simple solutions that can be created like you have proposed, the
easier it will be at some point to create maps between "all countries have
code points in different schemes" so urgent messages can be directed where
they need to go at a moments notice.
