Re: [dxwg] Specify the realisation order of precedence for conflicting profile negotiation situations (#505)

I certainly support this view and would go even further to say that when **any** request URI (not only "human agency") trumps the HTTP headers sent with that request. So if I ask for http://example.org/foo.html and my headers say `Accept: text/turtle` I still expect to get the content of `foo.html` and not of `foo.ttl`. The only other option for the server would be to answer with `406` saying that the media type of `foo.html` isn't compatible with the `Accept`-header I sent, but that seems overly restrictive to me.
