Borrowing from Norm Walsh, the debate seems to centre on names and addresses, [1]. If names are intended, then the string value of an absolute uri is sufficient (ignoring the uniqueness debate). If addresses are required, then a local resolution via a catalog would suffice to convert the name into an address. A global solution would then be available via the web without the catalog usage.
