How about names like <assigned-domain>.<country-code>.urn, e.g.,
resolver.oclc.us.urn
urn.cren.us.urn
urn-resolver.ncl.ac.uk.urn
in which assignment of the names within the country is handled by the same
authority that assigns other domains within that country? (I can't decide
if I think the US part should keep its top-level domain in such addresses
or not, but that's not material to the issue, I think.)
