Caveat: I didn't review the context (your application space), but in general, and in the abstract:

URNs are not the "official" way to construct identifier components.   It's true that some OASIS TCs (especially, those TCs started in years before 2005) use URNs, for various purposes, but OASIS Staff does not currently recommend that practice.  Both methods work, for some purposes.  But not for others.

Please see the guidance provided in the OASIS Naming Directives, where the use of HTTP scheme URI references are discussed, for XML namespace names and for any (related) kinds of identifiers 

8. XML Namespace Identifiers and Namespace Documents

http://docs.oasis-open.org/specGuidelines/ndr/namingDirectives.html#xml-namespaces

"Non-information resources using identifiers associated with XML 
namespaces may be based upon any HTTP scheme URI XML namespace declared 
by the TC (i.e., identifiers for named properties, functions, dialects, faults, actions, or any named message types)"

I'm probably coming to late at the party, but using URL instead of URN would be better IMHO, as there could be some documentation put on that URL. URNs tends to confuse people.
