The concern is that protocol-07, as written, doesn't allow interoperable implementation with a server that employs aliasing, and makes some requirements on servers that wind up being (false) assumptions that clients will make. I think that it's simple to fix the protocol by adding a "parent" property, and removing the language that requires clients to munge 'the' URL for a resource in order to find the parent. With this fix, the 1-1 relationship between 'resource' and 'resource locator' wouldn't be mandated for all implementations (although it would be allowed).
