Since most folx who would answer this question were in Geneva last week
I'll ask it again:
 
Concerning the attributes of the anchor tag:

After looking over the current spec and picking apart the unstated but
possibly implied differences between HREF and URN, I have a question:
 
CAN <A URN="value"> mean retrieve the page that has this Uniform Resource
Name once it has been resolved into a URL?
 
Currently the spec says that the URN attribute only has value when in
conjunction with an HREF or a NAME.

>From the current HTML spec;
--
All attributes are optional, although one of NAME and HREF is necessary for the 
anchor to be useful. See also: LINK . 
--

Is this the intended meaning and if so can that intended meaning be changed
in order to accomodate URN->URL resolution?
