Links do not contribute to the behavior the meaning of the text contained within them and not to its meaning. which does not depend on whether the link is broken or not. Moreover, whether the linked resource can be retrieved at all depends on the URI scheme, as in href="mailto:user at domain". The advertised advantage of CURIE prefixes is that the metadata declaration can be retrieved and looked up, and that can influence the meaning of the text thus marked. Therefore, link rot is a bigger problem for CURIE prefixes than for links. I think the original URL corresponding to a reversed domain prefix is irrelevant, and attempts to reconstruct it are futile anyway. Nonexistent features are better than features that decay progressively, at least as far as a specification is concerned. Best regards, Chris
