Heh, that's a whole long argument. In brief: I should have put a copy of

type it in the namespace and find a copy of the ontology (with human
readable notes in it) that explains what it is.
If you use a tag: URI, or something else unresolvable then you dont have
the option to look it up, ever. But, if you use HTTP then you can put
something there, should you want to.

OTOH, it's pretty obvious why this is the
case. Imagine if it *did*
have
to resolve to something. What would that mean? it only works when the
server's up? (and DNS, and the end user's internet connection, and and
and...) That would suck so bad.
I wonder why people include the protocol though? Using a java style
reverse DNS would have worked just fine:
org.ladspa.ontology would have made sense too.
