(Apologies for being out of touch recently while at SGML 96.)

>   Any namespace (existing or newly-devised) that is proposed as a
   URN-namespace and fulfills the criteria of URN-namespaces must
   be expressed in this syntax.  If names in these spaces contain
   characters other than those defined for the URN character set,
   they must be translated into canonical format as discussed in
   section 2.2.

I agree with Leslie's proposed emendation and the reasons she
expressed for it.

EXCEPT, that the name space itself need not be expressed in this
syntax, only the URN represntation of that name space.  So perhaps
"must be expressed" should be "must have rules for expressing
its names".
