It's correct because Tim says > it's correct, and he owns that name. That's not the usual sense of "correct". In this context, I believe that the wordnet sense of "correct" that is intended is "free from error; especially conforming to fact or truth" Or Wikipedia: "In everyday use, the correctness of a statement is determined by whether or not it matches reality. People can think a statement is correct and be wrong." If I had a profile that said, in effect, that I was president of the United States, then that would be incorrect regardless of whether I owned the name (I am taking the "owned name" that you are referring to to be http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i since that's the only name in the vicinity that Tim could correctly claim to be owned by him). If I'm using the wrong sense of "correct", perhaps you could provide me a definition of "correct" by which I could understand your claim. Regards, -Alan
