This is really disappointing, but entirely predictable. People (and governments) are being sold on URNs based on a false pretense -- that being "location independent" makes an identifier more persistent. To make matters worse, they assume that NZL will forever remain the three-letter code for New Zealand. *sigh* ....Roy Begin forwarded message: > From: Internet-Drafts@ietf.org > Date: February 11, 2005 12:22:53 PM PST > To: i-d-announce@ietf.org > Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-hendrikx-wallis-urn-nzl-00.txt > Reply-To: internet-drafts@ietf.org > Message-Id: <200502112022.PAA04909@ietf.org> > > A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts > directories. > > > Title : A Uniform Resource Name (URN) Formal Namespace for > the New Zealand Government > Author(s) : F.
