D'oh! I meant 'test=...' of course...

Fair enough. I did the research, and here's the difference:

It's a matter of persistence.

The URI

  http://www.myneeto-leetsite.com/leeto-neet.html

is considered a URL but not a URN because nobody could give a rat's ass about
it (generally).

The URI

  http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform

is considered a URN because without it, XSLT just won't work, regardless of
whether or not anything actually exists at that URL.

In other words, if you can live without it at that specific location, it's a
URL.
