In theory, everything that we (i.e., the web) are doing with URLs should reallybe done with URIs. Unfortunately, URLs were "good enough" so that URIs never took off as they should have. It's worth pointing out that both the HTTP/1.1 and HTML 4.0 standards primarily use "URI" and not "URL" in their specifications.
