Exactly. The problem is that even if the above were true (and I'm not saying it is) semantic web architecture != HTTP 1.1 This debate has always been at the interface between the Web and the Semantic Web. The Web doesn't care about what a URI denotes, only what representations can be obtained. But the Semantic Web doesn't care about what representations can be obtained but what the URI denotes. These are clearly distinct and disjunct perspectives that need to be reconciled in some formal manner (if possible). > > At the moment, speaking for myself, my impression is that the TAG has no > > intention of saying anything beyond what's in 2396 and the Webarch draft. > > Then I wonder where this will get worked out. So do I. If the W3C really cares about the Semantic Web, then the TAG will take this issue *very* seriously and work hard towards a resolution of it.
