Tag URIs require that the authorizing "agency" own the domain name and they cannot specify a date that is before their domain registration or in the future. So nobody could mint Tag URIs with purl.org as the domain name. PURLs might be an interesting solution for you if GAO has a system where you can resolve SUDOC identifiers. Then you could create a PURL and point it to their system. Now you get to use your PURL for your project and as a side benefit get lookup capabilities from GAO! Otherwise you could just send them to a relevant page on GAO site. Andy.
