In addition, looking beyond Web sites and services, there exists an 
entire galaxy of applications, data formats, and data access protocols 
that all benefit from the use of HTTP URIs as identifiers. A few simple 
examples:

1. iCalendar (.ics) documents
2. vCard (.vcf) documents
3. Public Keys -- which makes SSH and Email signing a lot easier re. 
incorporation into apps and services
4. HTML Tables
5. CSV documents
6. pkcs#7 documents -- which included public keys and signed content.
