RE: URI denumerability

Thar proof would indicate that while there are 
an infinite number of URIs, some of them are 
not processable in finite time; so again, 
the proof doesn't add a lot to the architecture.

It does give Cantor a leg up.

The proof relies on the fact that the decimal representation of
a real number can have an infinite number of digits.

So the set of URIs is not denumerable if you allow a URI to
have an infinite number of characters in its representation.
