(2004-08-03) Dehora Bray Pilgrim Uri Domain Permalink

Bill De Hora summarizes the dispute between Tim Bray and Mark Pilgrim about URI-s, PermaLink-s, etc. On the face of things, this is very sensible advice, and is essentially the core W3C dogma - cool URIs don't change. But there are some details that happens to strengthen Mark's position and weaken Tim's. In short - forget about the application software; the Web/Internet infrastructure itself doesn't support cool URIs. And notes that you never really own your own Domain.
