Hi Robert,

Robert said:
In other words, although a URL is a unique identifier, it should not
be used as part of the URN, a truly unique identification for that
object.  One last question: If an object is copied, is the URN
supposed to change, or is it supposed to remain the same?

Didier says:
If the copy is exactly a mirror of the original, you can add it to the URL
list associated to a particular URN.

And about the resolver, yes, a HTTP server could be used to resolve URNs as
long as you have the client part that knows where to connect to resolve the
particular name space.

regards
Didier PH Martin
