The reason we made identifiers hierarchial is because we wanted a 
hierarchial model, including the identifiers.

I don't care about URNs. They add exactly zero value to the system. I have 
yet to see a good argument for why 
"urn:ogf:network:nordu.net:2013:ps?vlan=1701" is better than 
"nordu.net:ps?vlan=1701"
