RE: Re: Use case mail

I agree it is a good idea to include the link to Tim's document. IMO,
though, the "Cool URIs for the Semantic Web" is a better reference
because "Real World Object", "Generic Document", and "Web Document" are
vital concepts.

http://www.w3.org/TR/cooluris/

Could we include both?
