Thanks Ray. By that definition ALL http URIs are URLs, a priori. I read
Alexander as trying to make a different distinction.

The difference between URIs and URLs? I don't believe that "URL" is
something that exists any more in any standard, it's all URIs.
The URL is alive and well.
The W3C "definition", http://www.w3.org/TR/uri-clarification/
"a URL is a type of URI that identifies a resource via a representation of
its primary access mechanism (e.g., its network "location"), rather than by
some other attributes it may have. Thus as we noted, "http:" is a URI
scheme. An http URI is a URL."
SRU, for example, considers it's request to be URL.
I do think this conversation has played itself out. --Ray
