The example was purposely simplistic to illustrate a point. You and Manos have failed to see the point which indicates that it is probably more subtle than I thought. It isn't worth going into a lengthy exposition about though so I'll just leave it at "An identifier is not a location".

Web dereferencing is lossy; big deal. Be more discerning in your choice

Perhaps you shouldn't be throwing herrings about then.
