I personally don't think that a name or identity has to be
dereferencable. The Life Sciences and Astronomy communities use URNs to
uniquely identify resources/entities without the need to dereference
them. They require an indirection from a globally unique name to a
protocol-specific address and I think this is better than being coupled
with a specific protocol technology.

But we are going off-topic :-)
