I can use "he" to refer to Dan, but that does not mean >Dan is of type "he" or "indexical". Until I read that, I was uneasy about Dan's "var:..." proposal. But introducing a form of labelling that serves the same kind of role as a pronoun seems entirely reasonable. (Part of my previous unease, I think, was regarding that the 'I' in 'URI' implied a requirement to convey 'identity'. But in RDF, I think URI's are simply the nouns of the language.) #g -- ------------ Graham Klyne (GK@ACM.ORG)
