What good is a non-persistent namespace that >also has no operational definition? I've been thinking about this. It seems impossible to have a name without some degree of persistence, but some names can be very useful without the highest possible degree of persistence. for example x-info:ticker:nyse:TWX could be made more persistent by adding a year, but the version without a year is accessible to more applications because a comprehensive database of tickers used over the years is not easy to come by. The freedom to trade off persistence for practicality can be useful.
