Ted,

Without attempting to debate the merits of the issue at hand in this
message, I think the statement above is confusing.

As the draft is currently written, the <URI> form may appear anywhere
within a feature expression (which of itself does not have an LHS and RHS).
 E.g.

   (& (dpi<=200) <http://www.acme.com/widget/features.html> )

The proposal that I thought you were making was to restrict the <URI> form
to the RHS of an auxiliary predicate definition, so the above expression
would be written as something like:

   (& (dpi<=200) (h.1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef) )
   where
   (h.1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef) :-
        <http://www.acme.com/widget/features.html>

[Note that this form of '<URI>' to represent a feature expression is quite
distinct from a feature tag with a 'u.' leading facet.]
