In my experience, the association between URIs and web content is more
mutable than seems appropriate for the "naming" relationship, and more
like the "location" relationship.  So, you can talk about an image "no
longer being named URI1" and "now being named URI2", or you can talk
about it "being moved from URI1 ro URI2".  Either works.  Do you use
"mv" to rename files, or "rename" to move files?  *shrug*
