If you wanted to express the point formally, you could say that each
unique combination of
{ namespace, time }
or
{ namespace, time, name }
is ownable. Eliot owns drmacro.com at 00:00:01 GMT 28 September 1998
(and for a while before and after).
Vanity of vanities, dust to dust, and all that.
All the best,
David
