Having sat back and watched for a while... there are at least 3 valid threads that I see: . is there a general statement that can be made about what a URI refers to (like the 'C' pointer confusion) -- is it the box, the contents of the box, the location where the box is if it in fact exists? . are there useful mechanisms for expressing relationships between resources, or between identifiers? (a really crude attempt at distilling Dan Laliberte's thoughtful comments). . irrespective of whether the resource is the box, its contents, or whatever, what are the services that can make use of the identifier/work on the resource (beyond the traditional, bald, "get"). I think these are all valid and important issues in need of discussion. But, at least the last 2 are outside the realm of the URI specification itself (as it stands today, and many of us believe it's best handled outside the identifier spec), and I don't see any specific proposals of text that could be added to the URI doc I circulated last week.
