Len,
I assume that by "unexpected conclusion" you mean the recommended use of
URNs over URLs as namespace identifiers? I was surprised at this as
well. A large part of this document was extracted from an XML schema
design rules document I co-authored while at the same company as the
authors (so I recognized quite a bit of it) - but in that document, we
did not get into "URN vs. URL" to the degree shown here.
I can see the advantages to the hierarchical/structured approach of
URNs, but also some disadvantages with the recommended approach - for
example, where one may need to provide a namespace identifier that
denotes a cross-agency initiative. Sure, there would be a "sponsor
agency", but one would lose the cross-agency significance in the
prescribed approach.
Kind Regards,
Joe Chiusano
