Except that I'd prefer different wording: it's not that those URIs aren't
dereferencable, but that there is no authoritative resolution/dereferencing
mechanism for them. (I think "dereference" = "resolve".)
E.g. lambda: tag --> google("intitle:" + tag ) is a dereferencing function
for tags that yields the page with that tag in its title.
But it's not an authoritative resolution/dereferencing mechanism.
Cheers,
Tim.
