Subject: regards semantics as a side conversation between consenting adults, and makes no requirements in this regard whatsoever IT The most widely adopted digital descriptor in history, the URL, regards semantics as a side conversation between consenting adults, and makes no requirements in this regard whatsoever: sports.yahoo.com/nfl/ is a valid URL, but so is 12.0.0.1/ftrjjk.ppq.

| Put basically, it sees semantics as irrelevant, and relies on users to use the best semantics available. The phrase 'between consenting adults' is kinda jocular; it's lifted straight out of laws on sexual conduct. The meaning in both cases is one of 'let them get up to whatever they like, as it doesn't impinge on us'; therefore no requirements. |
