Minor correction: while looking at 
<http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-rsalz-qname-urn-01.txt> I 
realized that the document from which I started apparently already had a 
few changes from the last published draft; apologies. (One change is an 
extended prose explaining the URN scheme, the other one is a paragraph 
about, um, XML 1.1, which I already identified as something we may want 
to take out again).

Best regards, Julian
