  21. Much of the software we release is in source code form. If someone werwe to
  22. argue that the code should not be commnted or well structured, perhaps even
  23. arguing tht algorithms should specifically be chosen because they are hard
  24. to follow, and then claim tht woul enhance software quality in that it
  25. would make it less tempting for customers to modify the code and possibly
  26. break it, I would say they were quite wrong. Software quality is enhanced
  27. by having clean, understandable and maintainable code. Now, why should URNs
  28. be any different?
