Dereferenceable does not equal dereferenced.  It is 
always derefenceable but if one wants to include 
force majeure provisions in the spec, go right ahead.

OK, suppose instead that you had a browser that hung indefinitely or 
crashed or exploded in similar circumstances. Is the hang or the crash 
or the explosion a "document" which would count as a result? If not,

implementation detail rather than something related to the 
(non-resolving) URI?
