Re: Last Call: <draft-ietf-urnbis-rfc2141bis-urn-20.txt> (Uniform Resource Names (URNs)) to Proposed Standard

I would like to see

Updates RFC3986

on this.

It says
"   discussions of URNs and URN namespaces should be interpreted
   according to this document and not by extrapolation from RFC 3986.
"
which to me says that RFC3986 may not be authoritative for URN and so is
de facto updated.

Subject: Last Call: <draft-ietf-urnbis-rfc2141bis-urn-20.txt> (Uniform
Resource Names (URNs)) to Proposed Standard



The IESG has received a request from the Uniform Resource Names,
Revised
WG (urnbis) to consider the following document:
- 'Uniform Resource Names (URNs)'
  <draft-ietf-urnbis-rfc2141bis-urn-20.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2017-02-27. Exceptionally, comments 
may
be
sent to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   A Uniform Resource Name (URN) is a Uniform Resource Identifier
(URI)
   that is assigned under the "urn" URI scheme and a particular URN
   namespace, with the intent that the URN will be a persistent,
   location-independent resource identifier.  With regard to URN
syntax,
   this document defines the canonical syntax for URNs (in a way that
is
   consistent with URI syntax), specifies methods for determining URN-
   equivalence, and discusses URI conformance.  With regard to URN
   namespaces, this document specifies a method for defining a URN
   namespace and associating it with a namespace identifier, and
   describes procedures for registering namespace identifiers with the
   Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).  This document
obsoletes
   both RFC 2141 and RFC 3406.
