When I sit down at my computer, I want it to understand the things I *deal with*. These include people, documents, cars, websites, companies and so forth. I don't think I am going out on a limb to suppose that, to a vast majority of web users, a website is a real entity that they might want to say things about and search for information on. I think it is clear we are going to have to agree to disagree on how we name things, but you seem to be saying that a "web site" is not a thing that is worth speaking about. > <a href="http://www.ibm.com/">IBM</a> is a good company > > then that's sufficient to establish that "http://www.ibm.com/" > identifies the company. I don't see why that follows at all. "IBM" identifies the company, the <a> is a link to the primary entry point of the company's website. So, if I may ask a direct question of http://www.markbaker.ca, should URIs be expected to refer to unique resources? Nick Matsakis
