RDF helps machines process assertions, but humans have been making and processing assertions with HTML since day one. You just need a way of finding out what assertions have been made using the URI, http://www.w3.org. Google to the rescue; http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=link:http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ew3%2Eorg%2F Tim told me that he thought that http://www.w3.org/Consortium/ identified the W3C. Google suggests that most people who use that URI, do use it this way, so there's an issue there. But *many* more (roughly, 64000 to 1250) use http://www.w3.org as the W3C's URI. As Roy said, URIs, like words, mean what people use them to mean.
