I'm very happy for a description to provide a list of some of the possible media-types available at the end of a URI, I'd also encourage agents to negotiate for the media they'd prefer. *but* it would be nice to be able to also describe simple existing services which serve up arbitrary XML for a purchase order or whatever and haven't registered a separate media-type, bought into RDF or shoe-horned their data into some existing unsuitable format. I guess I'm advocating being able to describe what is out there, rather than trying to impose an architectural pov. >> What about UBL?
