One would, but one would be wrong. I think the term came around from
some thought such as "a reference using a URI" or something...
I was not very involved in the haggles about terms. It is difficult to
be close to English usage at the end of a lot of specification
discussions. 

Doesn't the BNF define these terms? too late..going to bed...
