Subject: RE: [bt-spec] URIs and address-as-X (MAJOR)
Peter: I always meant URI. My normal form of the URI for the work I'm currently doing is the URL, but it is clear in my mind that URIs are used throughout BTP. As for URNs, the unique resolution of a URN to an entity must rely on either some rules defined by the protocol within whose context the URN sits, or else defined by some proprietaty means. The fact remains: URIs can be used as a globally unambiguous naming mechanism, whose form is defined according to the rules of the protocol that the particular URI is bound to, which is more conventional (i.e. accessible to the lay person) and loses nothing in expressiveness over the current address+identifier scheme.
