I agree. In which case, it seems reasonable to use a form of URI whose very form carries a clear signal of stable intent. To my mind, that is the big advantage of using a URN form. I don't dispute that http: URLs are technically adequate for the purpose of identification. But that is a technology-led argument that seems to ignore the social practices and expectations that surround them. #g
