It had been my impression that one of the design requirements for URNs
was that that names of objects have to be PERMANENT -- that you can
make a reference in one document to another document that will
`stick', and not change even though the second document moves, its'
publisher goes out of business or whatever.
Perhaps I misunderstood? This hasn't been in the list of requirements
or differences between URNs and URLs that have been discussed so far.
