Hi Ron. This is not always the case.
For example, the OASIS URN namespace [1] does not necessarily machine-
resolve to anything:
=====
Process of identifier resolution:
The owner will distribute catalogs (OASIS TR9401 Catalogs) that
map the assigned URNs to resource identifiers (e.g., URLs). A
more interactive, online resolution system will also be deployed
in the near future.
The owner will authorize additional resolution services as
appropriate.

For vocab terms, being unique is the key requirement.
