Which, Mike, is why I'd rather have a single point of failure at 
purl.org, an organization which understands it's persistence mission and 
is likely to be supported (with financial resources) by the library 
community to carry out that mission.  Compared to multiple points of 
failure, many of which may lack the understanding, mission, commitment, 
or resources for persistence. :)
