Oooh! A bit of Web heresy there, I think. Depending on one's point of
view, the typical Web view is something like this:
(a) there is no difference between URLs and URIs -- they're just
identifiers, or
(b) a URL is just a kind of URI that contains some built-in hints about how
to use the Web to access the resource it names (e.g., protocol, addressing
information), which isn't otherwise semantically significant (for RDF).
Any way, I think that treating things differently based on a URL/URI
distinction is to go on very shaky ground.
