But I think there are still some pitfalls with URIs...one that I can think if is having a good means of efficiently reusing connections as you interact with a URI and still keep your client code blissfully unaware of where the actual data associated with the URI is coming from. That can get tricky especially as you consider that some connections aren't stateless (like FTP connections). - Stephen
