  30. Good point. Perhaps I could rephrase my initial comment as saying that I
  31. think regexps serve to minimize the extent to which URN schemes depend
  32. upon the specifics of the NAPTR proposal. Ideally, of course, they should
  33. be independent of one another, but from a practical point of view I agree
  34. that regexps provide a high degree of independence without introducing too
  35. much (computational) complexity.
  36.  
  37. That being said, I only ment to suggest that means may be available to help
  38. alleviate the difficulty of maintaining a regexp based system and making it
  39. less error prone. From the perspective of this group, I only think it is
  40. significant that such means are available. The details are another matter
  41. altogether.
