You're presuming a particular outcome of that debate though ... I'd say that anyone who's really internalized distinctions between different types of identifiers (addresses, names, paths, ...) it's quite clear that there are so many common practices that alleging one of them to be "common sense" is just a non-starting position. The same identifier can be any of the above, depending on context and usage. > The big issue is what a URI means with > regards to the ownership of the definition > of the information it identifies.

Again you're presuming ... just because you call a table a book doesn't make it become one. I have the feeling Alice must have had when talking to Humpty Dumpty. Sure, go ahead and assert whatever you want. These issues haven't been litigated, and are unresolved (THAT was the original issue) except that Internet standards disagree with what you asserted. - Dave
