Sean,

I think we are not talking about the same problem.
*My* question is not, IMHO, about trust and authority;
I'm not concerned about what a SW agent will *believe* a URI identifies,
I'm concerned about what the URI *does* identify truly.
I'm not discussing about implementation,
I'm discussing about theory.

Of course, implementation problems are a bunch, and must indeed be
addressed.
But I do not think we all agree on the theory (which URI identifies
what),
and I think we should reach agreement,
or how could the SW agent we develop agree with each other ?
