Is that what you want to do?  There is no sub-domain notion within RFC 2141.

The format of a URN is "urn:" <NID> ":" <NSS>.  NID is Namespace IDentifier,
and NSS is Namspace Specific String.  One example might be:

   urn:avalon:home.work

where "urn:" is required, avalon is the NID and home.work is the NSS.  In
all of your examples, the NID was apache, and everything else was the NSS.

> update merlin specific keys to be RFC 2141 based on
> a *apache:avalon:merlin* domain

If "domain" is supposed to be NID, that would not be valid.  The ':'
character is not valid within an NID, and is valid within the NSS.  So your
string would be interpreted as having an NID of apache, with avalon:merlin:
being part of the NSS, which is probably not what you're going to want
internally when you process the NSS.  Alternatively, you could use
apache-avalon-merlin as an NID.
