Huh? Why jump to conclusions and spread disinformation?

Despite that I only used x.y.z.w as an example, it does not mean you 
have to use an IP address. It is a URI and no IP address is needed. I 
could have put: http://www.somehost.com/Interface/Connect

Please, review what is meant by resource URI (in REST context):
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/evaluation.htm#sec_6_2

And, what is meant by just a URI:
http://labs.apache.org/webarch/uri/rfc/rfc3986.html

You'll notice the semantics of root nodes and identifiers are what was 
significant, not the IP or host name.
