Yes, I found *that*, but it's the article we've discussed before, and 
even reading it again it does not say that some gnutella clients use 
urn:sha1. It AFAICS (can see) only says that it's inspired by gnutella, 
and *proposes* urn:sha1.

So again, it's AFAIK just one single article thinking about it-- not 
registered, nobody using it, nobody registering it.

We could cite the paper above, of course.

(Btw, JXTA ids may also be worth looking at.)

Well, I meant like: "Globally unique ids are this (ref); examples 
include URIs, IP addresses, (...). Ids that are not globally unique 
include HTML anchors, (...)." So references to prior work that is 
somehow similar is exactly the point IMHO.
