He most likey really meant URL :-).

UR* Terms

The basic picture, specified in section 1.2. URI, URL, and URN of
RFC 2396, looks like this:

         _______________________________________________________
        |         ________________                              |
        |        |  ftp:          |                             |
        |        |  gopher:       |                             |
        |        |  http:       __|____________                 |
        |        |  etc        |  |  urn:      |                |
        |        |_____________|__|            |                |
        |                URLs  |               |                |
        |                      |_______________|                |
        |                             URNs                      |
        |_______________________________________________________|
                               URIs

URI
     Uniform Resource Identifier. The generic set of all names/addresses
     that are short strings that refer to resources.
URL
     Uniform Resource Locator. An informal term (no longer used in
     technical specifications) associated with popular URI schemes:
     http, ftp, mailto, etc.
URN
     Uniform Resource Name.
        1.An URI that has an institutional commitment to persistence,
          availability, etc. Note that this sort of URI may also be a
          URL. See, for example, PURLs.
        2.A particular scheme, urn:, specified by RFC2141 and related
          documents, intended to serve as persistent, location-independent,
          resource identifiers.
------------------------

I doubt strongly, that Donderfliegen will be satisfied with an URN, as
any normal publicly used browser can not use them. So he really needs
an URL.
