Indeterministic results are useless for addressing purposes, which is the point I've been trying to make. The only way I know of getting deterministic addressing is if the server controls the address space (ie. it generates it), *or* if there is a standard addressing syntax (which I would like to see, but think adoption unlikely, as I proposed it before, and it failed to catch on). This is not to say that queries are any more or less useful than current WWW queries. By definition, they are not.
