The URN stuff that Michael referred to is being discussed in the IETF's
URN Working Group. You can find out about the current state of the
group's work from:
http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/urn-charter.html
You can join the working group mailing list (urn-ietf@bunyip.com) by sending a
message to
majordomo@bunyip.com
with the body of the message:
subscribe urn-ietf
This working group was formed around a proposal for an infrastructure
for supporting URNs. As Michael mentioned, some of the documents are
moving along towards the RFC track -- these include the Syntax document,
one proposed experimental resolution infrastructure architecture (NAPTR),
and a sample HTTP-based resolver (THTTP).
Leslie.
