True, good point. I am looking for something a _bit_ more shareable between other software and institutions than tag. info: still seems a nice compromise to me.

I am looking for the easiest possible way to get a legal URI
representing a sudoc.

My understanding, after looking at this stuff previously, is that info:
is a LOT lower barrier than urn:, and that's part of it's purpose.

Jonathan you could use TAG URI's, RFC 4151, if you are looking for something
quick and dirty.  No need to register with any authority since you are using
your own DNS name.
