RE: [xml-dev] URI indigestion
Please explain.   I'm nervous about Golems 
that reason to recommendations based on humans 
trusting each other.  If I ask the opinion of 
the International Brotherhood of Bowlers, 
I get a different answer than if I ask the guys 
International Wrestling Federation (maybe not much but 
some difference).   So I have to ask, who trusts whom 
and how can I know that in advance who to ask?

The semantic web cannot escape the problem of 
identifying the "preferred reading".  Humans 
can't either.

not necessarily - the 'web of trust' kind of stuff should cover this, though
I can't remember seeing it discussed on the level of identifiers
