So why don't they use URIs instead of "g.9.8"?
Then they could give it to a browser and get
back some documentation.

UDEF attempts to solve (or at least help) this by creating
"registered universal IDs" that provide a common frame of reference to
establish semantics. For example, the UDEF ID of "g.9_8" means the
following in the following contexts:
MIL-STD-2549: Part Product Identifier
X12 EDI: Product/Service ID
etc.
An XML representation would be:
<ProductPartIdentifierUID="9_5.8">123-456-789</ProductPartIdentifier>
The communicated benefit is that one can change tag names, but use of
the UID signifies "what one is *really* talking about".
