Very interested in your reasoning here Kingsley :) I'm unsure if you mean:
a: use a temporary urn: at the minute so you can get on, then define the
HTTP URI later when you are ready.
-or-
b: internally use generic urn's that are not tied to any specific scheme
so that as times change you can publish your data in any format you wish
by mapping the urn's to any URI/scheme you want without having to
rewrite your data.
Many Regards,
Nathan
