Seeking lURNed advice on UDDI

I'm beginning to think that UDDI might be real useful.
If you check out the spec-ware (PDF, grrrrrrrrrr) at
http://www.uddi.org/pubs/ProgrammersAPI-V1-1.pdf
it turns out that the UDDI tagset is in a namespace whose
name is "urn:uddi-org:api". This makes me uncomfortable, but
maybe that's just because I don't understand URNs. First off,
how unique is that? It doesn't *look* very unique to a URN
virgin.
Second, does this mean that you can't use RDDL or even an
ordinary web page to allow the eager-to-learn to discover
some things about the namespace? Or are have URN resolvers
been quietly been springing up while I wasn't looking?
(Neither IE nor Mozilla do anything useful for me with this
particular URI). -Tim
