The core specification uses the term "network address" and "logical
address" and now we're discussing a "physical address". I find these terms 
confusing given they are all URIs.

My preference is to remove them from Web Services Addressing altogether. 
If they are to remain, I'd then like to see a definition of their precise 
meaning.
