A Uniform Resource Locator (URL, RFC1738) is a name for localization and access of resources via the Internet. A Uniform Resource Name (URN, RFC8141 & RFC3986)

A Uniform Resource Locator (URL, RFC1738) is a name for localization and access of resources via the Internet. A Uniform Resource Name (URN, RFC8141 & RFC3986) is a name that identifies an abstract or physical resource. Your argument just favors distorting the concept of URL to use URL as URN. But if we were going to use URLs to identify abstract resources, why don't we use URNs instead?
