[20:35] <ram> bluefire: OK, then search.  But it should be "urn:sha1:XXXXXXXX" 
form.
[20:36] <bluefire> ram: You can only add them with "drop results with sha:urn"
[20:36] <bluefire> I mean urn:sha1
[20:36] <ram> Searching for that will be magically turned into a HASH asearch.  
Maybe we need a "Search this URN" instead?
[20:36] <ram> Still, since the URN is useful outside gtk-gnutella, it should be 
possible to copy it out.

But maybe starting more generally with identification, and then about
how globality has become important now that the net makes places around
the world accessible.
