You ought not get me started on this one. Just as the W3C posts their philosophical rant "Cool URIs don't change" they pull this number, which runs completely counter to it. Very confusing for everyone, and in my opinion just plain wrongheaded. If TimBL is correct and names and addresses are the same thing, then a URI should be the equivalent of a name. Obviously, they are making the case against their own argument. Murray ...........................................................................
