No, it would just increase the tendency to become irrational for those folks who don't happen to be using a URL for linking. I think you all need to find a better hobby. URI is a full Internet Standard and the generic syntax spec isn't likely to change in the next fifty or so years no matter what color you want to paint this shed. You would need a couple thousand vendors to agree to such a change for it to even come close to overcoming the consensus we spent fifteen years attaining on the current name. ....Roy
