No, he's a nutter. Green ink on black webpage with no margins? He even
looks like a nutter.
He puts forward a real problem, then he ignores the mechanisms that are
already in place to deal with it and proceeds to invent new methods at
completely the wrong level (i.e. the application level of HTML, not
even HTTP)
You don't have a rapidly-changing problem with this area in web design,
so the slow-moving world of DNS is perfectly adequate to cope with it.
If you do need rapid solutions to this, then look at the architecture
of "handles" and "DOI" (digital object identifiers). That's a well
thought-through approach, should you need it.
PS - the idea of "just the processors handle pointers" hasn't been true
for 20 years either (even longer on big iron)
