Nonsense :) So long as there is _some_ way of identifying things through description, we get a hypertext Web. We don't need to assign "URIs" to each object to achieve this. But it does help. As does relating those URI-less objects to things picked out by URI. I fear we URI zealots tend to overstate the case sometimes... "without being able to identify objects there's no way to describe their inter-relationships" is probably what you should've said. Put like that it's hardly worth arguing over. Though I expect we could try! Dan
