There are several strings that can be used to identify me.  "Mr. Baker",
"Mark", "Mark Baker", "Daddy", "http://www.markbaker.ca/".  That last
one is the only one of those strings that has a uniform meaning in all
contexts.  I like having an identifier with that feature.

So instead of

<http://www.markbaker.ca/index.html> dc:Creator "Mark Baker"

we can disambiguate this by saying

<http://www.markbaker.ca/index.html> dc:Creator <http://www.markbaker.ca/>

BTW, http://www.markbaker.ca/index.html is an HTML representation of me.
