Right, but they fail even in that to the extent that to find out what they
represent in general people look at the web. And the pattern of using
things that are based in HTTP URIs works - things like FOAF and Dublin
Core are often used to refer to things that don't exist on the web, using
only http URIs and intelligent techniques of identification.
