Hang on, I'm getting different advice here, my understanding was that URI
naming (picking good names) was an essential part of REST.  If its an
internal identifier then that isn't the case.

So should REST URIs have carefully chosen names, or is banging at the
keyboard randomly the prefered approach?

URIs are opaque identifiers (just like object references in any OO
language). You should
not infer anything from a URI.
