Keith,
Is there a particular reason to jump at the use of DNS as a URN->URL
resolution mechanism? I have no problem with using DNS to find such
servers, but think that it's hasty to select DNS as the right mechanism
for URN->URL mapping until we know what properties the resolution server
should have.
