    No worries, a URN is a URI.
    
     From RFC2396:
    
    1.2. URI, URL, and URN
    
       A URI can be further classified as a locator, a name, or both.  The
       term "Uniform Resource Locator" (URL) refers to the subset of URI
       that identify resources via a representation of their primary access
       mechanism (e.g., their network "location"), rather than identifying
       the resource by name or by some other attribute(s) of that resource.
       The term "Uniform Resource Name" (URN) refers to the subset of URI
       that are required to remain globally unique and persistent even when
       the resource ceases to exist or becomes unavailable.
