Thank you for your comments. Speaking for myself, not the TAG as a whole: 
it never occurred to me that the usage primer would be taken to discourage 
the "minting" separate URIs for landing page and subject. I assume everyone 
involved thinks thats architecturally preferable when practicle.

I read the primer as providing useful advice for the many situations in 
which, for good or bad reasons, such separate URIs are not created.
