I'm not sure I understand the _practical_ significance of that 
distinction.

And tho' I'd agree that it's reasonable to assume that any use of a 
URI is _intended_ to identify a unique resource, in the presence of 
multiple uses and multiple intentions the net result is that there is 
no one resource which can be taken as the referent ... IOW, the bare 
URI is ambiguous.
