per the W3C: Uniform Resource Names (URNs) are intended to serve as persistent, location-independent, resource identifiers and are designed to make it easy to map other namespaces (which share the properties of URNs) into URN-space. Therefore, the URN syntax provides a means to encode character data in a form that can be sent in existing protocols, transcribed on most keyboards, etc. You can see the full text of this by going to: http://www.w3.org/ then in the left hand column titled W3C A to Z, click on the URI/URL link then click on URN Syntax.
