Fine beliefs to have, I guess. I wish I had them, too. It would save me a
lot of work.

We have different ideas about what "it" is. By "ID" I mean how the machine
identifies the thing. By "Name" I mean how the human identifies the thing.
These are fundamental concepts inherent in machine-hosted data, no matter
what its exposure or scope. "Address", to me, is a trivial tertiary thing
derived from ID and machine context. I support open data and web data and
HTTP/REST-based representations of machine-context, and
internationalization, and thus IRIs, but sometimes you'll care about those a
lot, and sometimes you won't care at all. In my data-work I find that I
sometimes care about Addresses, but I *always* care about IDs and Names...
