It probably has impact on how you name and register namespaces

I don't believe it has any such (mandatory) impact.

It indicates a particular form of URN that may be allocated, but my reading is that it allows any DTD, namespace or schema URI to be registered. I see this is a mechanism that permits greater flexibility in URI use by providing a registry for arbitrary URIs.

(There's another related draft, with which I have had some involvement, that seeks to create a structure of URNs to be available for IETF protocol parameters. This one is more prescriptive, but its use is entirely optional.)
