Re: [ldapext] URN namespace for ldap/X.509 schema elements?

["RL 'Bob' Morgan" <rlmorgan@washington.edu>]

We confronted this question when considering a convention for 
representation of X.500/LDAP attributes as SAML Attributes, and decided on 
using the OID URN namespace.  See section 8.2 of the SAML 2.0 Profiles 
spec,

  http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-profiles-2.0-os.pdf

Choosing to base URNs on anything other than OIDs seems to me to 
inevitable lead to having to maintain a registry of such names, in 
parallel with OID registries.  I can't see anyone wanting to do that.  Is 
there some problem with using urn:oid: ?
