I should say that that much is definitely true. But as a fine point, any name means only what people agree that it means. A URI is unique, but there's only so much you can do to enforce the assignment of meaning to them. But non-unique names, of course, can collide by accident and are ill-suited to federation. -- Scott _______________________________________________ abfab mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/abfab
