!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] are [identifiers] resembling [Domain] Names, designed for simplicity and ease of use. 

[{$pagename}] are one form of an [XRI] — an [OASIS] open standard for digital identifiers designed for sharing [resources] and data across domains and applications.

[{$pagename}] are human readable [XRIs] intended to be as easy as possible for people to remember and use. For [example], a personal i-name could be =Mary or =Mary.Jones. An organizational [{$pagename}] could be @Acme or @Acme.Corporation.

Though typically long-lived, [{$pagename}] may, like domain names, be transferred or reassigned to another [resource] by their owners. For example, a company that changes its corporate name could sell its old [{$pagename}] to another company, while both companies could retain their original i-numbers. What most differentiates i-names from domain names is that in practice they will have a synonymous (equivalent) persistent i-number (below).
