Hi, I tried to understand what this memo does.

== namespace ==
In 12.1 it creates an URN for the namespace,
specifying a (minimal) XHTML page in the XML
section of the registration template.

Apparently IANA does not use this as intended,
they publish the complete templates as text:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/xml-registry/ns/common-policy.txt
http://www.iana.org/assignments/xml-registry/ns/contact-1.0.txt

The latter says "XML: None.  Namespace URIs do
not represent an XML specification."  In some
cases there are no templates at all, examples:

urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:asnx
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav

If the whole point of this exercise is to get
a row in in the namespace table, then the 4th
column already is a pointer to the reference,
and IANA doesn't support the creation of XHTML
pages of registration templates in the third
