"Given the ambiguity of the URN/URL divide, that URNs that can be used as locators (using [Dynamic Delegation Discovery System]) and URLs can and are used as names without any "resolution" protocol in mind, maybe trying to call them different things was hopeless. URL, URI, IRI, I'm not a stickler, at least in prose. (In formal specifications, that's another story.)""n a lot of situations, the difference between a "file" and "the name of the file plus the location of the file plus the contents of the file plus any file system data about the file" .... well, they're the same. So if you think of URLs like file names and clicking on a link like accessing a file, the "resource" and the "representation" don't really matter.

But for those for whom the distinction does matter, the idea of just tossing the distinction, well, it's annoying.""But URLs have also been used for other purposes. For example,

* XML applications use URIs in xmlns attributes to identify namespaces.
* Semantic Web applications use URIs to denote concepts. I use "denote" as term related to, but different from, "identify".
* Metadata applications use URLs to identify both the data that the metadata is about."
