Re: [namespaceDocument-8] 14 Theses, take 2

/ "Williams, Stuart" <skw@hplb.hpl.hp.com> was heard to say:

This one bothers me as well. In fact, I expect I disagree but may lack
the conviction to continue pursuing it.

That's better. But there are mechanisms which make URNs equally easy
to dereference, though perhaps we do not yet have a mature,
distributed resolution mechanism.
