Good idea :)

I'll create a new page on the wiki and add some examples over the next 
few days, then reply with a pointer later in the week.

ps: as an illustration of how engrained URI normalization is, I've 
capitalized the domain names in the to: and cc: fields, I do hope the 
mail still come through, and hope that you'll accept this email as being 
sent to you. Hopefully we'll also find this mail in the archives shortly 
at htTp://lists.W3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/2011Jan/ - Personally 
I'd hope that any statements made using these URIs (asserted by man or 
machine) would remain valid regardless of the (incorrect?-)casing.

Best,

Nathan
