yes.

The book (315) governing the namespaces is still not published yet. But 
the intent is that the namespaces are managed by SANA. Currently, the 
candidate registry (waiting for final publication of 315 to move the 
registry as approved) is: http://sanaregistry.org/r/urn/urn.html

The registration policy is that the requests are reviewed by an XML 
expert group which has not been set, to my knowledge. In the mean time, 
I guess the SSG can take on that task, as any other 
non-defined-in-books-topics-related-to-SANA.

Therefore, my suggestion is to send a formal request of the desired 
namespace to SANA (info at sanaregistry.org) and then we will ask the SSG 
to review/approve the request.
