Perhaps you are misunderstanding the terminology. Uniform Resource
Identifier (URI) is a term that includes both Uniform Resource Locator
(URL) and Uniform Resource Name (URN). I am only following the somewhat
common usage as found in specifications, but perhaps I should be more 
specific: absent a resolution service I mean "URL." Some of us (apparently
the entire standards community) have been belabouring for years under the 
general assumption that URNs would someday become more common. 

Sorry for the confusion.
