absolute-URIs-with-optional-fragmenmt-identifiers

Now this messy topic is on the table, I have a proposal:


DEFINE

URI-view to be an absolute URI with an optional fragment identifier,
and use this term in relevant RDF documents.  Thus, augmenting the
syntax productions from RFC2396, we have:

   URI-view = absoluteURI [ '#' fragment ]


RATIONALE (for "URI-view")

1. URI-view is short, hence easy to write.

2. URI-view is easy to speak.

3. The term URI-view is not currently used for any conflicting purpose (to 
my knowledge).

4. In http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Model.html and
    http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Fragment.html, TimBl describes the fragment
    identifier as identifying a "view" or "part" within a document.
