You said: "URIs have become part of the furniture of the real world, like corporate graffiti tags. I'm typing this on a tube train and every poster at this end of the carriage features a URI in some shape."The metaphor is a little bit off. Basically yes you are right in the physical world (everything is real, the difference is more digital-physical), things change too. The poster in the carriage is content (aka the representation served to you), but this is not the URI. The URI in the carriage in this case is the pointer which led to this poster. It could be for example "carriage XZ345-window AXV" This is the identifier, the URI. The content can change it is no issue. Now the URI helps you to designate and draws an expectation, at this URI, I'm used to read this or that. Example in the physical world. At this address, 123 Smith Street, etc. (URI = identifier), there is a shop (representation) which sells bread. Maybe one day the shop will be replaced by a fisher place and you break the expectation of the usual person coming here. You break URIs when you do not handle it anymore. Exemple an urban architect redesign the city, and the street completely disappears, where one day the street was here, the next year no more than a big factory on what was one day a street. The important is not that the street disappeared, but that the name of the street disappeared. The History books of the city or the streets around could display a 410 Gone (Here was Smith Street).

Un manuel pour les affiches envoyées par la posteWhen you receive your print, you'll find that it's curled inward upon itself, the result of its confinement within a sturdy U-Line mailing tube. Rolled up posters do not display nearly as well as those that lie flat, so your first order of business should be to revert this cylinder to a broad rectangle. You may accomplish this by rolling it out upon a flat surface, placing several heavy books upon it, and letting it sit for a day or two. Or you may wrap the poster around the outside of the mailing tube in the opposite direction of its curl, use rubber bands to affix the ends, and let it sit for an hour or two, thereby allowing the mailing tube to amend the foul havoc it has wrought.

# It is very cheap,
# It can be quickly dismantled or moved,
# It is easily transportable as it can be carried flat or in a tube,
# It is easily repaired if broken as the individual mirror pieces can be replaced (rather than having to fix or replace an entire parabolic mirror).

Commentaire obligatoire : je ne suis pas archiviste ;)
Dans le domaine des archives traditionnelles de l'objet matériel, il me semble qu'un des points importants est la duplication : C'est à dire la reproduction à l'identique d'un objet en de nombreux endroits. Cette duplication créé des contraintes (stockage, duplication du travail parfois), mais elle assure aussi une certaine forme de pérennité (réduction de la fragilité, indépendance entre le lieu de l'objet physique et de sa référence dans le modèle).
En revanche le Web propose un identifiant mais pour une copie unique très souvent d'un contenu, ce qui est pratique mais aussi fragile. L'URI en tant qu'identifiant seul et indépendant de sa localisation n'est pas rentré dans les mœurs.
L'autre enjeu aussi est que l'archive Web est un processus continu. Le contenu peut changer en permanence pour un identifiant donné (ce qui a un effet de bord très intéressant sur les lois de protection des contenus.)
Le contenu actuel des bibliothèques peut être rendu disponible et une même œuvre peut avoir plusieurs URIs de localisation et un URI unique d'identification. Et même si celui ci n'est pas unique, ce n'est pas si grave owl:sameAs est là pour cela. Mettre à disposition d'abord et recoller ensuite les morceaux, car le fait que la contrainte de l'espace physique n'existe plus en ligne, le tube de colle est également plus facile à utiliser. Mais j'ai une vue qui est peut-être trop pragmatique.
