The International Standard Book Number, ISBN, is a widely used
   identifier for monographic publications.  Since 2001, there has been
   a URN (Uniform Resource Names) namespace for ISBNs.  The namespace
   registration was performed in RFC 3187 and applies to the ISBN as
   specified in the original ISO Standard 2108-1992.  To allow for
   further growth in use, the successor ISO Standard, ISO 2108-2005, has
   defined an expanded format for the ISBN, known as "ISBN-13".  This
   document defines how both the old and new ISBN standard can be
   supported within the URN framework and the syntax for URNs defined in
   RFC 2141[bis].  An updated namespace registration is included, which
   describes how both the old and the new ISBN format can share the same
   namespace.

   This document replaces RFC 3187; it also obsoletes and moves to
   Historic status the predecessor thereof, RFC 2288.
