Names name something; identifiers identify something,
abstract or real.

What are the cases and uses, and don't they 
depend on overloading the term, URI?  If all 
they are is a unique string, then they should 
be named Uniform Unique Strings.

Aagh.. here comes the rathole again.

necessarily point to a resource? ;)
