For the record, I do not propose this specific syntax for NSI.

I was mostly making a point that it is very well possible to create a
globally unique identifier without including the name of a network _in
the URN_.


If we agree on the principle idea of providing both network and STP name
in a request, I am happy to give a practical example (which will include
the "?vlan=1791" Port selector).

I hadn't done that yet, because that will open some new questions on how
to deal with unidirectional or bidirectional ports, as well as dealing
with multipoint-to-multipoint connections.
