Here is a new behavior for everyone: using an intuitive mechanism for naming real-world entities where said mechanism also resolves to web resource that are for all intents and purposes is a simulcurum (a kind of data object) of the named real-world entity. Again, this is about creating simulacra for the Web medium that are accessible by name or resource address where the name doesn't have to be an http: scheme URI. And if somehow this just cannot be understood in the Web context, then s/Web/Internet in the statement above. Basically, Internet-scale simulacra where names and resolvers are loosely coupled. The scope of *new behavior* is what? On what basis is negating HTTP a so called a new behavior? Just because we have a bunch of myopic (http: scheme specific) user agents dominating the Web experience? Again, watch what happens on the mobile front where browsers style of user agent will never dominate the Web experience.
