I think the main value of this whole discussion and proposals is to provide general agreement on how to do skolemization if needed, wanted, (outside of the system, etc), so that parts of the community would not reinvent the wheel. On the other hand, it seems that the issue of dereferencability is important for ones and not important or even to-be-avoided for others. As a consequence I would think that the original proposal of Sandro is the right one, ie, to provide two different approaches (and making the necessary admin steps by the IETF). One is the .well-known for http{s}, and the other is a short form.
In terms of compactness the
urn:steveH:XXXX
seems to be the best, but that is not fully o.k., because two different organizations might generate the same URI (which is avoided with the HTTP version due to the domain being part of the URI). I guess we may fall back then to the original Sandro approach (having made a really large circle:-)
tag:yourdomain,2011:steveH:xxxxxxx
or
urn:steveH:yourdomain:XXXX
which slightly less verbose. The advantage of the latter over the tag scheme that it is possible to register steveH for urn, which makes it clearer...
