Only magnets with URN and IP OR with URN and file-name OR with URN, filename and IP.

A magnet with file-name should only initiate a search for that filename so it isn't more strenuous than a simple search request/query.

Else you take away many uses of magents (for example posting files when you don't have a stable IP or a webserver).
I personnaly only use Bitzi to verify if files are legit when I download. URN without IP means searching the network and means too much traffic for UPs as of now. I hope someone implements a DHT for URNs, as it seems to be the only efficient way. We'll have to wait to see.
