If your bed had a numbered tag it would benefit from http:ness and a "fuck a bunch of authoritizations" attitude. In a recent news story about who governs the internet it was asserted that all the possible domain names had been gobbled up by the greedy Americans but of course by the very definition of numbers, this is an absurd notion. So http: to your heart's content because the indexing/dating will adequately differentiate otherwise identical number choices. Love.
