+1 to look at slugs or slug-like concepts. it is a useful implementation
of the concept of providing clients with some control over the namespace,
but still giving servers final control. it's important to keep in mind,
though, that slugs are meant mainly to control centralized naming (the
header determines the final path component of the created URI), so for
supporting decentralized scenarios (where you might want to supply the
canonical URI that's not under the control of the LDP server), this
probably could not be directly adopted.
