Re: Canonical Path and Path Filter proposed specificatrion

[Farrukh Najmi <Farrukh.Najmi@Sun.COM>]

That does avoid teh problem but then requires the user to specifify that using
more verbose XML constructs.

Another possibility is that we say the first part of the path is not the well
known URN but it is whatever the id attribute
(guarenteed unique) for the ClassificationScheme. This too avoids the URN issue
entirely.
