Simply :) what you are saying about URI (and then identification) is 
valid for all languages defined on the Web.

"""
In order to communicate internally, a community agrees (to a reasonable 
extent) on a set of terms and their meanings. One design goal for the 
Web, from its inception, has been to build a global community in which 
any party can share information with any other party.
"""

I would not only stress that is valid for URIs but that is very 
important for *any* standards made on the Web.
	XFoo is useful because it has been decided at consensus with the wider 
community possible.

It's good to have agreement on identification, it's also fondamental 
for languages which define application on the Web.
