> 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.

Ceci n'est pas une représentation. :-)
