That's why we need a two level scheme: a set of URIs which are not (insofar
is possible) tied to a particular language or character set and a directory
service which will allow internationalization of resource names. Think
about it this way:

i-nodes       filenames
IP addresses  domain names
URLs          ?????

up with a better one.
