Re: HTTP URIs for real world objects

Reto's got a point re. the TAG finding. Maybe this line could be toned
down a little:

"The standard Web transfer protocol, HTTP, should be used."

to something like:

"The standard Web transfer protocol, HTTP, can provide such a look-up
mechanism".

Reto's arguments at the top of this thread,

* DNS is centralistic
* HTTP is insecure [note]
* Uncool URIs happen

- while valid, apply equally well to *any* resources you might
describe in RDF. I don't think deprecating the Web is the way forward
:-)

[note] HTTP may be quite insecure in itself, but it is possible to
extend or layer increased security on top.

Cheers,
Danny.
