To be more concrete, we will propose a new alternative URN scheme,
called the path scheme. We may also propose some amendments to the
URN requirements RFC, if that is in order.

As a point of clarification, the current URN draft should not be
considered *the* URN scheme. In other words, "the current URN draft"
could be one of many rather than the only one. I realize that the
draft in question gives the name of the scheme as "urn:", but I
believe this is a mistake.
