Do you see a way to allow dereferencing other than my Strawman-4, with
the magic number somewhere inside the URL?
I guess, reading between the lines, you're imagining something like
t-d-b.org. So,
Strawman-6: use http://bnode.me/<unique text>
con: someone needs to run a central service, which might get a lot of
traffic
con: the central service would get to return whatever it wanted to say
about the bnode
To me, that's a non-starter for those reasons, but I can imagine some
people would like it.
