Oh no even more people involved!

I ought to point out that the scheme being discussed is a way of making the 
existing one we use just now in AstroGrid (see 
http://wiki.astrogrid.org/bin/view/Astrogrid/ResolvingIVORNs) more explicit and 
less confusing.  It is used to identify files both through community homespace, 
registry-resolvable file-stores, and urls.

I expect at some point we will be able to replace bits/all of it with 
industry-standard forms, (perhaps WS-RF?), that might be common across more 
components.  For example, we may be able to use the same structure to refer to a 
job, a table in a database, a file, a running query, etc.
