Here is a link to the message I sent out last year regarding handling
URNs in concatenated URL forms:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-semweb-lifesci/2005Apr/0010
This approach only works if it is explicitly agreed that URN's need to
be accompanied by a handler URL. As stated by others, this is similar
to some other resolution approaches out there...
best,
