Supplementary question: if I was, say, a Government department, what
would you recommend?
</Quote>
Here in the US, the Federal CIO Council XML Working Group created a
draft "Recommended XML Namespace for Government Organizations" document
in March 2003 [1]. You may find pp.10-12 of this document useful, where
the suggested formats for URNs are discussed.
As a sidenote, I recommended that this document be updated to also
include URL formats for namespace identifiers. Oh, which reminds me: I
need to check on its status...
Kind Regards,
Joe Chiusano
