All nice and easy to speculate about. You go tell the authors of the 
existing ontologies to make this change. I already told you a long time 
ago why we made specific decisions about DBpedia URIs. And as for 
DBpedia, you would like us to make the change above and mess everything 
up in the LOD cloud? Or you would like us to add a whole new batch of 
owl:sameAs relations?

Speculation is no justification for the notice in the WebID spec re. 
hashless HTTP URIs. As I've said, drop the unnecessary notice and this 
matter is closed.
