In this case I think you need to add to "negative effects" that referential use of URIs for which there is no available descriptive information is deprecated. There are many such uses of URIs in extant RDF, so I think this would be a problem. I'm not sure how one would write (in RDF), say, Dublin Core metadata for the document (wiki page) that is accessed from http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-mt-20040210/ , since that URI has no discoverable RDF. What would you advise people do, should your change proposal be accepted? One could define a second URI to refer to this document, but what descriptive RDF would one write in order to document the new URI? Jonathan
