Peter,
Currently there are no protocols out there doing URN->URL lookup,
which means its a good time to choose one, it would be real simple,
HTTP, WHOIS++ or DNS could easily be extended to do the job.
Whichever we choose is going to require implementing, I'd much rather
implement one of these (any of them) than have to implement all of them
to satisfy the scenario you propose.
