So you infer that URIs belong to IETF and URLs to the W3C? At the same time you assume this is architecture with real interoperability in mind. You are making an important point here, quite profound. I really need to know if this is the view shared by others. The most powerful virtue of the Web is its interoperability. That virtue is inextricably linked to URI abstraction. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
