RE: Dates in URIs?

Renato:

report URL. What is "suggestive" to Mary (a non W3C person) about those 4
characters "2001"
has something to do with years. The same that Chicago is related to cities.

I completely concur with your points.  OTOH, I haven't been able to figure
out a good alternate solution.  BTW, I have no authority over the W3.ORG
path names, and I just recently got on this list.  But what I'm working on
is all about UR[IL]s.  Can you suggest a better alternative?
