Yes, since the point of discussion is about the novelty (or some argue,
lack of) in what TimBL did, I will point to the original "Universal
Resource Identifier" draft:

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1630.html

This RFC, in 1994, represents a revolution.  This RFC, and the thinking
which went into it, changed the world*.  It's the reason that TimBL is
knighted.  By the time the 1998 draft was released, the world had
already been changed, and bickering about "universal" vs. "uniform" was
no longer something that would make or break the web.


* this RFC, *and* widespread TCP/IP, HTML, a killer app from NCSA, etc.,
etc.
