It’s hardly my place to tell you, Sandro, in your role as co-author of the specification of the “tag” URI scheme, the point of “tag” URIs, but the point that you give casts an aspersion on tag minters by stating the case in backwards fashion. It may be that one is unwilling to maintain a Web presence even though one would very much like to allow people to metaphorically follow their nose. There are barriers between many people and the maintenance of a proper Web presence. -- Discussion may want to jump to the URI Interest Group (<mailto:uri@w3.org>). Etan Wexler.
