Are words such as "enables" , "facilitates" etc.. so bad that we can no 
longer make statements like:

<a/> enables name to address indirection in HTML via URIs? Basically, 
that it enables exploitation URI serve dually as a document name and a 
content access address i.e., a hyperlink.

Would REST be less useful if the word "affordance" wasn't engrained in 
its narrative?

[1] http://bit.ly/15tk1Au -- hash based URIs that denote things 
unambiguously while also making full use of HTTP URI duality
[2] http://bit.ly/17RQQXX -- name resolution, data source names, and 
networks.
