Could "dated URLs" meet the same requirements that were identified
for "tags"?

1) Identifiers are unique across space and time and come from a
practically inexhaustible supply;
2) identifiers are convenient for humans to mint (create), read, type
etc.;
3) zero registration cost, at least to holders of domain names or
email addresses; and negligible cost to mint new identifiers;
4) easy identification of the entity that has minted the identifier,
should that be desirable;
5) independence of any particular resource-location or identifier-
resolution scheme.
