The weakness does not lie in the resolvability of the URIs but in the
centralized aspects of the DNS system. Fulfilling the design principle
of decentralization takes some effort but usually brings significant
benefits in terms of long-term scalability and stability. I don't think
the W3C is a club of hippie scientist by adhering to that principle.

The importance of the question how long knowledge expressed in triples
will still be understandable depends on the application, but I don't
think that it is irrelevant nor that the answer is imperatively based on
quantum entanglement.
