Re: Versioning URIs
I also meant to add that the claim that meaningless identifiers are inherently more stable just isn’t borne out by the facts. The city of Roma (in Italy) has been known by exactly the same name for the last 2762 years. The name of Dimashq (Damascus in English), allowing for changes in language (Akkadian > Aramaic > Arabic), has been in use for at least 3341 years, as far as records go, and quite likely for 5000 years or longer.
By comparison the oldest arbitrary identifiers I know of, house numbers in Paris, are only 546 years old — and they are by no means stable over the centuries.
