URIs identify and do not necessarily link, so the new acronym actually would be a misnomer. personally, whenever people care enough to ask why i am using the term URI and not URL, they often find it interesting to learn about the fact that there is a wide variety of URI schemes and ways in which URIs can be used and are used. cheers, dret.
