I'm not sure about that. An address makes no promises (technically speaking) about what you will find at that address. You can give an object some metadata like "current address", but that's different from saying the address alone identifies the object. |

I don't see how that's relevant. An address, in principle, merely designates a particular location, perhaps physical like a street address, or logical like a memory address. In the context of a search or lookup, you can obtain what's contained at that address.
Similarly, a URL designates a particular resource location, as exemplified by its full name, Uniform Resource Locator. In the context of a client/server request, you can similarly obtain a representation of what's at a URL.
