Well yes, I think that this is the point in saying you can have a URI
for a representation or "conceptual document" or anything that is
special to the web and remain compatible with the URIs-identify-anything
view. (I've been jokingly quoting Freud on cigars here, I'll stop though
as it wasn't even that funny  the first time) There are no valid
counter-examples against the URIs-identify-anything view. The URI-space
is large, it contains multiitudes.

(P.S. Just to be awkward, since I'm ill and don't really feel like
rubbing a sharp blade across my skin or doing laundry
http://www.hackcraft.net/jon/on/20040920 has hair and isn't wearing
black)
