Uniform Resource Name - the name of a resource, independant of
where it happens to be. See "http://earth.path.net/mitra/urn.html" for my
internet-draft with a proposal for these.

>URC
Uniform Resource Characteristics, a URN, zero or more URLs and
meta-data associated with them, e.g.

URN:mitra.path.net/123445
Author: Mitra <[email protected]>
URL:http://earth.path.net/mitra/urn.html
Cost: Free

>URI
Uniform Resource Identifier, any of the above.
