Wut. That just means that they are a different thing altogether and cannot be put in the same box anymore. new URL() will continue to treat URLs starting with urn: just the same as before.

Updated in Stockholm; it looks like the parts that might have had architectural impact have been walked back (specifically, removing semantics from path and query in URNs). Closing.

The IETF URNBIS WG is finishing up a number of documents.
In particular, this one may be of interest to the TAG; it removes URNs from the semantic (but not syntactic) constraints of URIs (and thus URLs).
For example, a URI processor now wouldn't be able to assume that a URN that uses a hierarchical form could be a base for a relative URI, because the semantics there have changed.
