RE: [xri] Names for XRI URIs and URNs

[Drummond Reed <Drummond.Reed@onename.com>]

Ah, good twist, Gabe. The only thing I don't like is that we lose the
central term, "Resource".

So here's an even simpler idea. Why don't we follow the example of our
normative glossary and not create ANY new term? Just look at the subject
line of this message. What Gabe was trying to come up with a term for is an
XRI URN.

Why not just call it an XRI URN?

Done.

Actually, using your mappings below (just to keep my proposal in sync):

XIR: eXtensible Identifier Reassignable
XIP: eXtensible Identifier Permanent

;-)

Though i confess to likely this one as well. I'm ok with that.
