good idea, but who is going to create these uris, who is the authority?
is microsoft the organisation you talk about? will it gain power through
being an authority?
Can i use the uris also for secret stuff, from my private life?
every centralised corpus is always politically uncorrect at some point
or for some people.
http URIs that can be generated by everyone scale very good.
but even with those, it is not clear what a URI identifies.

the problem is: we are discussing technical nitpicks, while the real
problem is philosophical.
I have seen all these URN, TAG-URI, info, etc idea come up every two
months for the last 2 years now,
always the same arguments, never a solution.
Or? did someone make a technical standard to disambiguate the four
meanings of a URI?
if you don'T know that a URI has four meaning, you better read that:
