You don't need cryptism to have identity. The string "Trades Unions Congr=
ess=20
Library" is just as unique as "dsgdsgf.dsfgdsfg.hfdhdf.gov".

Now, of course a smart system would help the user pinpoint the entity, us=
ing=20
name similarity heuristics. And this makes much more sense for 'real' nam=
es=20
(e.g "Congress Library") than to (current state) URLs.
