Anything attached to a DNS locator will always be nothing more than a private dialect of the owner of that DNS node. For that reason, the use of the DNS style of naming should be deprecated by sensible people creating "words" for the web if by that, they intend to create an open source. Take the HTTP out of any word you intend to use outside a private community. The web must cease to foster stealing from the commons of human knowledge. Stop the namespace gold rush before any more damage is done. len -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Borden [mailto:jborden@a...] URIs are names on the Web. Moreover to the extent that we can compare the Web to a language, URIs are its words. I'd like to name things on the Web. Not just 'documents' but I'd like to be able to name everyday things like "cars" and "people" and talk about them on the Web. So the questions are: Can we do this? How should we go about doing this? When I use URIs I use URI that have the HTTP scheme i.e. start with "http:". This is for the simple reason that I have easy access to several HTTP servers, and good software that manipulates HTTP URIs.
