How about real http: URIs that do not identify anything? (are they still URIs?) http://example.com:8232/nowt/ (I made up a port number since the controllers of example.com and example.org are running an HTTP service (using an obsolete version of apache last time I looked, I hope HTTP_REFERERs aren't logged...)). > And an argument to back up the claim that they don't. If we take 404'ing URIs to still "be" URIs, then ones that fail to name something, presumably are also failing to name something that is an information resource. If someone could educate me on current wisdom re whether http://example.com:8232/nowt/ is really a URI rather than merely a string with a URI-compatible syntactic form, I'd be grateful. cheers, Dan > ht > > [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2005Mar/0104
