Two questions:
- why slashes?
- why in reverse order ?

We have implemented a URN resolver that uses this syntax:
URN:ncsa.uiuc.edu:doc-1234
(of course, it is no great effort to support your syntax)

Also, we assume that the resolver is on machine:
urn.ncsa.uiuc.edu
(if the hostname does not already begin with 'urn.')
If not, we try: ncsa.uiuc.edu

With a new TLD, are you saying that we (for example) would
have a resolver at dstc.edu.au.urn ??
