Why? It seems an awfully steep barrier-to-entry to have *all* URI's
resolve to a web page as well as to whatever the URI actually
represents, especially when my agent can't read...
Well, first, if a URI is not resolved something, the purpose of using
web is lost. Second, a URI is not resolved to a "web page," rather it is
resolved to a representation, which can happen to be an HTML document (a
web page, I guess) of the resource that the URI denotes. Third, an
agent may not read "natural language" but should be able to read
"something", such as XML or RDF or even a binary file, yes? This is
what Jonathan's document intends to say - "useful information".

I've been posting revisions to the URI note to the same location:
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/hcls/notes/uris/
If you're planning on attending the next HCLS meeting/telecon (Monday?)
please take a look as the meeting approaches. Otherwise, comments are
welcome, but I suggest you read it now only if you also plan on
reading a
later draft, as significantly more work will be done on it over the
next
few days.
I've started a QuickTips summary of this and cool-uris. It is very
direct
about endorsing HTTP URIs. Attached here for consideration.

Some of you may have heard that the URI note has been revised since
the last public draft last October. This is indeed the case, and its
authors are working on polishing the new version. If you would like
to examine a snapshot of our work it is available here:
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/hcls/notes/uris/
It's still in a state of high flux so we're can't promise to act on or
even respond to comments right now. We plan to give you further
drafts
for review over the coming week and after.
Best
