A brief aside from the main thread: I notice in http://www.w3.org/2005/03/29-tagmem-minutes#item06 under "Issue httpRange-14" that you're reported as having said TBL: SWBPG has said they'd like to see resolution that any URI can be used for anything That's a misunderstanding we should clear up straight away, to avoid wasting time on side-issues. SWBPD WG was careful to scope things to a smaller part of the problem space: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2005Mar/0101.html notes that we have concluded from our reading of the specs that "an http URI without a hash MAY be used to identify an RDF property." This is agnostic about whether physical objects, or certain kinds of abstractions, can similarly be identified with hashless HTTP URIs. For now, we don't care about that. The concern is solely with namespace URI pragmatics. There's plenty more that could be debated, but the SWBPD WG's request was much more tightly scoped than "please let any (hashless HTTP) URI be used for anything". cheers, Dan
