You are > essentially claiming the opposite, but fail to support your claims with I am in no way suggesting that semantic agents will parse URIs. However, you can't stop *people* from noticing something in a URL like isbn: or http: and thinking "this must be a book, and that must be a hypermedia server". When someone yells "FIRE" in a crowded room, you should expect people to assume that you mean there is a fire. In fact, you should *encourage* them to; it's only prudent. They didn't have to "parse" the word or look it up in a dictionary to make their assumption, and maybe you didn't really even mean that there is a fire. But that's what people will assume, so you might as well accept the fact.
