Each person is free Of course. People are free to say "bad" when they mean "good". I am not trying to arbitrate or mandate good form. On the other hand, I think it is self-evidently stupid to use http: identifiers to identify beaches (and I think you agree), and at a minimum, I would hope that W3C don't start recommending such folly by making pointless declarations about "the range of http is infinity and beyond".
