Fine beliefs to have, I guess. I wish I had them, too. It would save me a lot of work. It isn't about separating the ID from the Name. It is all about separating > Names from Addresses. We have different ideas about what "it" is. By "ID" I mean how the machine identifies the thing. By "Name" I mean how the human identifies the thing. These are fundamental concepts inherent in machine-hosted data, no matter what its exposure or scope. "Address", to me, is a trivial tertiary thing derived from ID and machine context. I support open data and web data and HTTP/REST-based representations of machine-context, and internationalization, and thus IRIs, but sometimes you'll care about those a lot, and sometimes you won't care at all. In my data-work I find that I sometimes care about Addresses, but I *always* care about IDs and Names...
