This has a strong resemblence to the whole XML namespace debate, e.g. if an
XML namespace name is just a unique identifier for a namespace, why does it
need to be a URI? and if a URI does it need to be dereferenced and if a
namespace uri is dereferenced what should it resolve to?

Of course this is a topic close to my own heart (http://www.rddl.org).
