Peter --

I agree that the hard part of doing URN->URL translation is not in
defining the protocol. I personally don't think it's very difficult
to find an appropriate server, so long as we can use DNS as a starting
point.

The real problem with providing a URN->URL translation service is making
sure that the service is scalable and that the data provided by the
service is kept up-to-date.

I agree that a single protocol should suffice, though I would
prefer something with less packet overhead than whois++.
(i.e. UDP rather than TCP)

Whois++ should be fine for URCs (whatever they turn out to be.)

Keith
