Jonathan Borden scripsit: > No. Every URI _always_ identifies a resource. Only if you allow that some things with URI syntax aren't really URIs. For example, "http://www.cs.usyrtis.mars/rfc/rfc32767.txt" doesn't represent any resource at present: there is no University of Syrtis to serve as the authority, and the RFC sequence has only reached the 3000s. > The point of the above is that the representation of a conceptual resource > "a thing without a represenation" could always be the text: "a thing without > a representation", therefor there one can always provide a representation > for any resource (if one so chooses). Ceci n'est pas une représentation. :-) -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan <jcowan@r...> "Any legal document draws most of its meaning from context. A telegram that says 'SELL HUNDRED THOUSAND SHARES IBM SHORT' (only 190 bits in 5-bit Baudot code plus appropriate headers) is as good a legal document as any, even sans digital signature." --me
