   Syntactic structure:

      The Namespace Specific Strings (NSS) of all URNs assigned by MACE
      will conform to the syntax defined in section 2.2 of RFC 2141,
      "URN Syntax" [1].  In addition, all MACE URN NSSs will consist of
      a left-to-right series of tokens delimited by colons.  The left-
      to-right sequence of colon-delimited tokens corresponds to
      descending nodes in a tree.  To the right of the lowest naming
      authority node there may be zero, one or more levels of
      hierarchical naming nodes terminating in a rightmost leaf node.
      See the section entitled "Identifier assignment" below for more on
      the semantics of NSSs.  This syntax convention is captured in the
      following normative ABNF rules for MACE NSSs (see RFC 2234) [2]:
