It _is_ confusing. My understanding is that these are more or less
interchangeable the same. URL was originally called URL. When they
generalized the idea of a URL a bit, formalized it a bit, AND realized
that (what had been called) URLs were actually really useful as
identifiers _as well

Indeed. However, I have found this blog post and the comments to be
somewhat enlightening for me in the past:

Hi! I'm pretty new to this list, so forgive me if this post is
redundant or insipid,
It seems strange to me to use an url to access local information.
I think it's better off to just consider URL on obsolete term.
Keeping the distinction between the two is still useful, in my mind.
