I hate to see this argument pointlessly persist, so I will stop arguing after this question: Why aren't my URLs safe? That is, why do I have to worry about an address at iana.org suddenly disappearing one day? What needs are not met by this system? I use URLs for a lot of the work I do and I'm curious whether I'm making a mistake. Thanks, -- [ Aaron Swartz | me@aaronsw.com | http://www.aaronsw.com ]
