Hi Dave,

Of course I recognise your incredibly long history of contributions to the
web, but I don't think I understand your definition of the Web of Things.
How would you describe the Web of Things if not giving Things URLs on the
web?

Surely if non-web protocols such as those you have listed are being used
rather than web protocols then what you're talking about is the Internet of
Things, but by definition not the Web of Things?
