This sort of thing was a W3C TAG issue (httpRange-14), which was
resolved:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2005Jun/0039.html
<TAG type="RESOLVED">
That we provide advice to the community that they may mint
"http" URIs for any resource provided that they follow this
simple rule for the sake of removing ambiguity:
a) If an "http" resource responds to a GET request
with a
2xx response, then the resource identified
by that URI
is an information resource;
b) If an "http" resource responds to a GET request
with a
303 (See Other) response, then the
resource identified
by that URI could be any resource;
c) If an "http" resource responds to a GET request
with a
4xx (error) response, then the nature of
the resource
is unknown.

Well, I'm a person, and I don't have a URI, and I'm not accessible on
the
web. The internet will get you only as far as my inbox, and my inbox is
not
a representation of me.
