The JAXP 1.3 API uses URIs to identify object models when requesting an

Could you please allocate a URI to identify the XOM model?

Is this documented anywhere? Are there any rules I'm supposed to follow when choosing such a URI? Is this just another case of "URI-everywhere syndrome" when all they really want is any unique string?

Off the top of my head "http://www.xom.nu/jaxp/xpath/xom"; sounds good. Anyone else have any thoughts?
