People are trying to use EPRs as links, in WSRF for example. Of course they often don't realise that is what they are doing. I have found the Location and Referrer HTTP Headers useful for passing around URIs. For me links/URIs are part of the uniform interface, as you say the whole is greater than the sum.

But no, I *do* think EPRs are links. Poorly designed links mind you (no scheme, crappy syntax), but links nonetheless. I think that if SOAP were to have been defined with a "turn this EPR into data" method, that we'd be seeing a lot more EPRs. And yah, I though about including HTML in there too, as a carrier of links, but three's a crowd (at least for an epoxy analogy 8-) WSDL doesn’t count because it’s not part of the messages.

WSDL has always had xsd:anyURI. I'm sure that you would agree that neither quite have the semantics of "link". It is worth noting that hypertext links rarely occur in HTTP headers. HTML+HTTP are the expoxy of the web. Semantics. WSDL has always had xsd:anyURI. I’m sure that you would agree that neither quite have the semantics of “link”.
