  33. In writing my response to this note (which was just sent to Terry and
  34. Stu, but I'll send a copy to anyone who asks), I realized that my
  35. statement
  36.  
  37.     "URNs aren't supposed to be human meaningful"
  38.  
  39. was imprecise and possibly misleading.  A better statement is:
  40.  
  41.     "URNs aren't intended to serve as human meaningful names".
