Just so we squish these when they come up, that URN is invalid. URN's are specifically disallowed form having '.' in their namespace ID. The only allowed characters are A-Z, a-z and '-'. You are strongly discouraged from using NIDs that even appear to look like domain-names. IMHO, urn:example:topic:bla would be better.... -MM -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Mealling | Vote Libertarian! | urn:pin:1 michael@neonym.net | | http://www.neonym.net
