But directory names are for human consumption. I often need to type
them, and if I don't, I still need to read and parse them.

To avoid the numbering collision problem, how about:

shortname-optionalnumber-author

so that I could have:

move-vobs-benja

and if the need arises:

move-vobs-2-benja

This would be resistant enough against collisions.

I don't want to block here if you if you really want to use URN-5s: I
could live with it, but it would IMHO degrade usability... (which does
*not* make it a good example case for what we want with urn-5...).
