Yes, but how will we handle the case where some set of people make statements with the subject being http://beta.uniprot.org/entry/P12345 and another set makes statements about http://uniprot.org/entry/P12345. They are really talking about the same subject, but our semantic web agent won't know that. If we had used the PURL, then we wouldn't have a problem. Comments to your other points in separate email. -Alan
