They do. The value of the URI used as the name value goes up by network effect as the named scope is itself, referenced. One will want to be scrupulously aware. One can speculate that this will become a metric for Intellectual Property value determination in the same rough way Googling determines Internet celebrity: for example, the value of a vocabulary/schema pair may be determined by the number of references made to it. The problem as always is gaming but intuits that will be worked over time as well. len From: Dan Connolly [mailto:connolly@w3.org] ... some uses contribute to the Web of resources, some don't. The ones that don't aren't necessarily evil; they just don't participate in the network effects. > If so, isn't that a bit of an embarrassment, at least? No, just an issue to be aware of.
