Speaking of ratholes, doesn't TimBL's position imply that namespace names
should URI *references* -- the URI itself would point to a document, and
some #fragment thingie would refer to the abstract namespace that the
document discusses?
Forgive me if I misinterpret this ... anyway, that piece by TimBL seems
like required reading for anyone who cares about this issue. I for one I
do find notion that URIs refer to nice concrete bundles of bits on the
Internet rather comforting!
