You mean you didn't read and memorize the contents of www-tag
when joining the group, Henry? ;-)

Mark owns that domain, so he gets to say what that
URI denotes.

Meanwhile...

I think the community also owns that URI; if the TAG's recent
decision on httpRange-14 becomes the consensus of the community,
then the community will conclude based on the 200 responses
that seem to come back that it denotes an information resource.

I think it's plain that Mark is not an information resource,
so there's something of a contradiction, or at least a potential
contradiction, here.

While the meaning of URIs is delegated from the community
to owners, the delegation is not without limits.
