1. this limits the SystemName and AssignedString to be a single
character each, is this what you want?  That makes for a very small
number of potential URNs under this scheme.

2. what is meant by "----" at the end?  if the URN is to end with four
"-" characters then these should be enclosed in quotes.  (and why would
you want to do that?)

(and the example in section 3 doesn't match the above grammar)
