I think it's at least "Web Resource" -- a member of the class of
things which are identified by at least one dereferenceable URI.
Maybe there's a better name for that class....   Things identified
only by mailto:, tag:, and urn: URIs wont be in this class.  (I have
no plans to include a URN resolver.)

It's odd to present it as a property of the thing, though, since it's
pretty far removed from its intrinsic properties.  Maybe I should
present it as a property of the URI (a particular kind of character
string).  But that's also weird.....
