Hi Larry, Suppose I mint the URI http://www.example.org/ij# and establish that the resource it identifies is Dan's car. Dan is clearly the owner of Dan's car. It was confusing to state that I was somehow the owner of the resource identified by the URI. Because of that unclear relationship, we moved from "resource owner" to "URI owner" prior to the (initial) Last Call draft. URIs can be allocated and thus "owned" (or rented). It seems more difficult to explain how resources can be allocated. _ Ian -- Ian Jacobs (ij@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 718 260-9447
