I don't see his examples as the death of URLs at all. The underlying technologies will continue to rely on URLs, not to mention the legion of systems and standards with the URI as a backbone. I see this as the URI being shoved further down the stack. The more we can abstract above the URI, the easier it will be for everyday people to get to what they point to.
