Fully agree.

IMHO,  "localhost" URIs should not be used anywhere in OpenTox services
(including AA), as this defeats the purpose of OpenTox URIs being
dereferencable.  Using "localhost" should be considered a bug.

We are also seeing lot of "localhost" URIs in Ambit services and could
consider similar "garbage collecting".

Best regards,
Nina
