Re: TAG Issue proposal: URIs should not be hierarchical

Can you point out anything that is broken by this? Enough to justify  
changing the Web?

If you want to change some theoretical background material about  
URIs, fine; if you want to change how software works, e.g.,  
disallowing relative URIs (the most obvious use of hierarchy in the  
deployed Web) you might encounter some resistance.

Cheers,
