The message archives of the W3C are not covered by the W3C's persistence policy [1], neither is your homepage, and neither are message IDs or your mailbox, as far as I know. The persistence policy is also not covered by itself, although logically it doesn't need to be! The point is that the only real way to assure some URI as identifying a persistent concept is to either date stamp it, or make sure that it is only used within a limited context. I see your point though: practically, using your homepage to identify you (or perhaps a FragID on that page) is a good idea, especially as one can glean further information from the vancing thereof.
