nope never been able to find any significant advantage; and thus ended
up using http uri's in my own domain space(s) which are always
guaranteed to be unique as I'm issuing them. bonus is that they can be
dereferenced and server as both a universal (resource) identifier and a
locater.
ps: resource = anything that can be named.
