Right.  Considering that the TAG people with "HTTP URI can identify
*anything*!" confusion are the ones who seem to be suffering the least
exhaustion, I doubt that http-Range-14 will ever be resolved in a way
which approximates common sense to me.

In other words, TAG is perfectly capable of issuing "findings" which are
not universal or sensible.  Not that this is a bad thing -- just
supporting your position that TAG findings are not necessarily cosmic
law.

(

P.S.  Here is my proposed resolution to httpRange-14 before I succumb to
complete disenchantment and exhaustion:

"TAG hereby finds that HTTP identifiers could be used to identify
*anything*, and so could pickles.  TAG recommends that pickles be used
as identifiers, since they are tastier."
