This reflects a philosophy, an attitude, a point of view that is NOT
shared in anything like a consensus in this group.  I say again...
this WG should adopt the *least restrictive* solution that is technologically
sound and let people do with it what their communities choose.

This group has no business enforcing naming philosophy on the applications
or systems that will deploy URN solutions.
