I got notification of this new rfc from a gils listserve and thought it
might have an impact on the discussion about URNs, particularly
the persistence issue.

RFC 1811
U.S. Government Internet Domain Names
June 1995
Federal Networking Council
(Informational)

It seems that the domain names under .gov may change. I extracted
2 items out of this RFC:

3) Only ONE registration and delegation shall be made per agency.
The .GOV registration authority shall provide registrations on a
first-come first-served basis. It is an individual agency matter as
to which portion of the agency is responsible for managing the domain
space under a delegated agency domain.

4) Those agencies and entities that have multiple registrations under
.GOV may retain them for a maximum of 3 years from the publication
date of this document. Within 6 months after the publication of this
document, one primary domain must be selected for the agency. The
other (secondary) domains must cease further sub-delegations and
registrations at this time. As of 1 year after the publication of
this document, the secondary domains will become undelegated and will
revert to the control of the .GOV owner. As of 2 years after the
publication of this document, all registrations in the secondary
domains must be mirrored in the primary domain and those names should
be used where possible. At the 3 year point, all secondary domain
registrations will be deleted.
