      URNs assigned by MPEG will have the following hierarchical

      standards:

         urn:mpeg:{standard name}:{assigned US-ASCII string}

      where "{standard name}" is a US-ASCII string that conforms to URN
      Syntax requirements ([RFC 2141]) and corresponds to the name of an
      MPEG standard (such as "mpeg1", "mpeg2", "mpeg4", "mpeg7",
      "mpeg21", and

      "{assigned US-ASCII string}" is a US-ASCII string that conforms to
      URN Syntax requirements ([RFC 2141]).

      The individual URNs shall be assigned by MPEG through the process
      of development of MPEG standards.
