It could well be that locators are (and perhaps should be) agnostic, just as the web itself is.   The only thing that is “specific” about a URI is the protocol itself – but beyond that, it doesn’t matter what is on the other end or how you get to it.

We may not define it in a normative way in the sense of some formal language or terminology, but we have to understand what can, cannot, should, or should not be done with a PWP. And it is certainly important to know whether the realization of such a PWP processor is possible with today's technologies, what is PWP specific and what can be reused off the shelf, etc.

Such technologies may not be a part of the documents we produce, but saying "we don't care about it here" I think sends the wrong message.
