s/quibble/complain.

I absolutely have/had no intention of insulting you (I said I quibble 
too). I meant complain, gripe, take issue with etc..
Apologies, for sure, if you think I was trying to insult you (I wouldn't 
do that to you in public or private).

I am taking issue with the following, specifically: confusing use of 
term: URI, Non Information Resource etc..

Using the above loosely, simply perpetuates confusion.

A URI can be used to Name anything,  and that includes a Location (Address).
A Location is a very specific thing.
A URL is a specific kind of URI i.e., it is an Address.
And yes, a URL is a kind of URI.
The fundamental issue is *indirection* a feature of URI abstraction.

When you speak about URIs (with indirection in play) it simply leads to 
confusion.
Please don't assume the make of the mailing list. It isn't a place where 
specific language is accepted by all, which is why I would like us to be 
clearer.
