draft-rsalz-qname-urn

Some folks here may be interested in the following Internet-Draft that
Dave Orchard and I wrote.
  http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rsalz-qname-urn-00.txt

Unlike most writing on URNs and URIs, this is very short. :)


    This specification defines a Uniform Resource Name namespace for XML
namespace-qualified names, QNames. As long as the URN is encoded in the
same character set as the document containing the original QName, the
Qname URN provides enough information to maintain the semantics, and
optionally the exact syntax, of the original name.
