Do you mean "dereferenced"?

While this is one *possible* scenario that could occur, there are many
other ways that meaning can be associated with a URI.  It's debatable
whether this particular approach ever stands a chance of succeeding.

I strongly recommend that TAG avoid endorsing any particular approach to
associating meaning with URIs.  

I suggest sticking with the simple affirmation that URIs *do* have
meaning.  

Assignation of meaning to symbols is a complex and fluid social process
(in which ownership of a DNS server can play a big part, of course).
The Web Architecture doesn't need to codify this process, and risks
looking foolish by trying.
