I'm still trying to figure out what's being proposed here and I
realized that my mental model might be considerably different from
that being used by the work's proponents.  Where I'm coming from,
someone who needs a chunk of data and isn't sure where it is (or,
in some cases, whether or not it exists) does a search, and the
search returns a set of stuff, where "stuff" includes descriptive
information (metadata) and an identifier that's actually a
locator.  The locator is used to access the data.

Is that consistent with what proponents have in mind?
