Let me second Libby's recent request to post only to one W3C list at a
time ("per the [W3C] guidelines")? This seems to be a particular
problem with cross-posts between semantic-web and public-lod.

Sergio,
Nothing wrong with IFPs, at the end of the day they are going to be
the key to bootstrapping the "Linked Data Web".
If you look across Twitter , Identi.ca, and all the other Web 2.0
data spaces, you will notice that IFPs reign at User App. Level.
Even better, if we are trying to evolve the Web into a DBMS we have
to be consistent with how DBMS engines actually work: all DBMS
engines have IFPs (Primary Keys) and URIs (RowIDs). What makes the
Web different is the fact that the RowIDs (URIs) aren't locked at
the application, operating system, or network level :-)
VoiD is bringing important matters to the fore (e.g. describing data
containers and their relationships) that ultimately enable
juxtaposition of traditional DBMS and "Web DBMS" as the basis for
really understanding what the "Linked Data Web" is really about.
