  > Cool URIs don't change That's talking about the portion of URIs after the domain name. In reality, domain names themselves do change from time to time and it's wise to be able to accommodate that. A cool URI makes that change easier for the provider because it means the only part of the URI that would have to change is the domain name. The rest can remain the same as always. > This will cause a massive amount of links to go dead on the web and that's a fact. Well, sure, and the maintainer of those links need to change them. I'm not seeing how this is a major crisis. Link go dead all the time. It would be an annoyance, certainly.
