Ahh, I see where you're going. That makes a lot of sense. You could  
conceive of the end result as a stripped-down version of a semantic  
web service; not extensible, but easy to implement.

I hadn't really thought before about the dual personality of a URI.  
It's important, just like you say, especially as we try start to  
treat URI's as resources and make them stand for persistent real- 
world objects. It'll be important to get the same URI to talk back  
appropriately to any interlocutor, regardless if it's a person, a  
machine, a group of people, a mixed machine-person entity, etc.
