Further Examples of Stipulative Definitions 

Many specifications refer to RFC 2119 with the words, "The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED",
"MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119." How could we say this about URIs in an RDF document?

See also Tim Berners-Lee's example of ambiguity. The URIs are not at all ambiguous in the context of his email, but they are ambiguous in the context of his example in the email.
