I've got nothing against putting http uris in OpenURLs myself. I don't
understand the objection to that, really.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the point of all this to be able to put

http URIs in OpenURLs (because they are complicated enough already, why
clutter them further). So I don't see that pursuing an http solution to
this is very useful. --Ray

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.
