RE: [egov] Internet Draft - URN Application

["Chiusano Joseph" <chiusano_joseph@bah.com>]

Thank you for making everyone aware of this document, and for your
efforts. I would like to pose a few questions, in a completely neutral
manner (i.e. I am not leaning in any one of whatever possible directions
there might be for answers):

(1) Did you by any chance review the August 2003 report posted on
XML.gov on the topic of namespaces[1]? If so, what - if any - content
within that report may have factored into your thought process in
creating your Internet-Draft?

(2) In [1], there is a reference to using both URNs and URLs - did you
consider URLs at all in the process of creating your Internet-Draft?
