Re: The 'resource' identified by a namespace name URI should be the namespace

Identity of URI references can be determined, ditto for URIs and entity
bodies.  Not so for resources: the most we can say is that if the
URI is the same, so is the resource, but not vice versa.

Namespaces (as defined) depend on identity of URI references.
TimBL & Co. want to make them depend on identity of URIs.
