Peter,

Without type information, its not much good putting a URN in a pointer.
Because unless something will tell me what type of object it is, then
I dont know whether to pass it to "xv" or "less".

Some protocols - e.g. Gopher, already pass the type information around,
and they could start using URL's immediately, but others arent
going to be able to handle URN's on their own.
