(continuation of response) There are multiple URI schemes. Each scheme defines the semantics of the scheme. The "http" scheme semantics starts out with "use the HTTP protocol to connect to a resource". If you write "http://thing-described-by.org/" at the beginning of a URI, you're still talking about the resource you connect to using the HTTP protocol to connect to the Internet host whose name is "thing-described-by.org". There's no way you can attach the level of indirection directly to the domain name. Maybe I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish, but it seems like this is another run at "use HTTP URIs to ground representational assertion terms in the real world". And I think you need to make the indirection explicit, either through *, tdb:, separate relation identifiers, or some other explicit way to distinguish me from my web page.
