I think it would really be helpful to have them on hand during discussions. Jonathan
People have been using slash URIs to ambiguously name things forever. That's fine since those activities apply to a different Web interaction and exploitation dimension (or system) i.e., the information space dimension.
We have major problems when you seek to apply the name/address ambiguity to a totally different dimension (or system) such as Linked Data.
The issue here is that we have many dimensions (systems) with specific rules in play. If we didn't have specific rules the distinct dimensions I refer to wouldn't exist.
The Web has Information, Data, and Knowledge space dimensions, and possibly others to be discovered in the course of its natural evolution. Each dimension will be endowed with its own basic set of rules.
Web 2.0 (and earlier) users and developers are dealing with the Information Space dimension. Crafting an RDF, RDFa, Microdata resource doesn't mean you've crafted a resource with Linked Data fidelity (i.e., adherence to Linked Data rules), in a majority of cases these are still information space dimension artifacts.
The Web is the product of dexterous architecture. Breaking said architecture delivers zilch!
Again, there are no excuses for breaking AWWW as it exists. None whatsoever. Of course, we can collectively work on better narratives and better products for specific user and developer profiles. Personally, that's were we should be spending our collective energies circa. 2012.
