No. The IETF docs explain how a URI may be used to reference a resource
on the Web. They further say that URIs are in fact designed to facilitate
this process. There is nothing in there I've seen stating that they *must*
be so used, nor that they may not be used for other purposes. Or am
I missing something? -Tim
