Hmmmm...  I'm not so concerned by circumscribed organizations creating
their own pseudo-URNs for their internal usage.  I am concerned, though,
about a namespace that's meant to be used to interoperate between
systems operated by many organizations, but the details of the namespace
are not made public.  This happens particularly when a trade group
standardizes a bundle of technology but keeps the details secret.
"*This* part of the Internet is private to members of the club!"  Even
in the situation of the Thread Group, where it seems anybody can obtain
the details, but nobody is allowed to discuss them in public.

But the distinction I am making may not be rational ...
