Randomness is a red herring here, possibliy being confused with
meanginless URIs (e.g. numerical ones) that may appear random, but the
real issue is separating the id from the name, as Glenn says below.
It isn't about separating the ID from the Name. It is all about
separating Names from Addresses.
What's the difference between an ID, Name, and an Address?

But this does not meet Glenn's call for randomness I believe.
I didn't call for randomness, just for clean separation of the
machine identifiers from the human names.
Furthermore the OBI URIs are resolvable (thank you! very much
appropriated :-), something that Glenn currently does not
consider for his implementations but that's a separate
conversation.
We're not really talking about my system, which isn't implemented
in RDF, but even if we were, my "identifiers" are local/relative
IDs, so combined with a base URI they're totally "resolvable".
