Re: URN Resolution Paths Considered Harmful

Because:

1) URN resolution services are just a database system; and

2) The most successful database technology so far (relational databases) 

does not include the resolution path in the query, but leaves up to the 

resolver;

I think that we should follow the direction of other database systems by not 

encoding the resolution path into the URN.
