Reto's got a point re. the TAG finding. Maybe this line could be toned down a little: "The standard Web transfer protocol, HTTP, should be used." to something like: "The standard Web transfer protocol, HTTP, can provide such a look-up mechanism". Reto's arguments at the top of this thread, * DNS is centralistic * HTTP is insecure [note] * Uncool URIs happen - while valid, apply equally well to *any* resources you might describe in RDF. I don't think deprecating the Web is the way forward :-) [note] HTTP may be quite insecure in itself, but it is possible to extend or layer increased security on top.
