Corrected version of my previous message, apologies. Very interesting debate indeed. I am not sure I have followed all the developments, but here it seems to me that the problem is NOT the "text string" per sé. A URI (in its abstract syntax) is in fact a text string, and so is an ISBN. The difference between a URI and any other type of string is that a URI has a meaning associated to it, and this meaning allows an agent (for instance a piece of software), who knows there is a URI in a certain place, to do something with the URI (whether display it nicely or dereference it and get back a representation). So, a text string is fine, as long as the string conforms to a syntax with an associated semantics.
