RE: Disambiguation; keeping the "U" in "URI"

Actually, I had been mis-reading.  The solution I agree with is that

The anonymous (or named if you want) node:
[http://www.markbaker.ca/index.html dc:Creator]
Identifies the person.

The node:
[http://www.markbaker.ca/index.html]
Identifies the page.

This is how RDF works anyway.
