How would you propose this be done in a location-independent manner?  That
is to say, once URNs are here (soon!), what will it mean to restrict access
to a specific site, when the same resource is available elsewhere, and easy
mechanisms are in place to determine exactly where else it is available?

In other words, "access to specific sites" in _not_ an ideal solutions to
this problem.
