It's my impression that the location of the files is secondary to the
statements they contain. The fact that you can use the http transport
mechanism on http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/ to retrieve some relevant data is
orthogonal to the use of that resource identifier in logical statements.    (02)

For example, the file at:    (03)

http://dannyayers.com/misc/foaf/foaf.rdf    (04)

contains statements including one that says (in effect):    (05)

[Danny] foaf:knows [Kenneth]    (06)

and the file at:    (07)

http://cemc.ccom.edu.cn/htmlDocs/foaf.rdf    (08)

includes:    (09)

[Kenneth] foaf:knows [Barbara Fields-Bernstein]    (010)

Although there are related issues of trust & provenence etc, these
statements are effectively independent of those two addresses. They are both
talking about the same foaf:Person called Kenneth.    (011)

Yep, that sounds a good way to go.    (013)
