Another good idea, true. There are indeed lots of ways to do this.

But wait, you don't need a unique hostname for a tag uri, a unique uri (hostname+path) will do? purl.org will only give me the latter, not the former, right?

I am not interested in maintaining a sudoc.info registration, and
neither is my institution, who I wouldn't trust to maintain it (even to
the extent of not letting the DNS registration expire) after I left.

BTW, you could always use http://purl.org/ and later if you wanted
to have it resolve to something just change the PURL.
