This isn't what I mean re. DBpedia URIs and Attribution. Its about 
keeping @hrefs for URIs visible to user agents.

I am saying: if you make a resource on the Web that meshes your data 
with data from: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Lewes>. In your resource, 
keep <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Lewes> (one of your data sources) 
visible to user Agents via @href or <link/> or RDFa. This is no 
different to the age-old practice of: attributing your sources.

I am also saying, based on the example above, the literal attribution: 
"Data provided by DBpedia", isn't really valuable since its doesn't hone 
it to the specific data source within DBpedia that is the basis of your 
meshup.
