HttpRange-14 is yet another example of how messaging can go all so wrong.

As you can see from my reference above, HTTP URIs have always denoted 
things (entities). They've never solely denoted Documents. Put 
differently, an HTTP URI delivers denotation and connotation via 
name->documentAddress indirection.

Linked Data is all about denotation and connotation via the Web medium, 
driven by HTTP URIs.
