Comment on URLs Are The Uniform Way to Locate Resourcesparent

RDBMSes, of course, don't have hierarchically-organized "resources." That's the whole point of the "R" in there.

Databases contain schemas contain tables contain columns. The hierarchy is just fixed types and of limited depth.

And then there's S3, which names a resource but doesn't imply any hierarchy, since the namespace is actually flat, even though it looks like a hierarchical path with / as a separator.
