That's a good idea, and our server is actually doing this. If you access 
a resource through an alias URL (such as "A" instead of "a"), we return 
a Content-Location header pointing to the canonical version of the URL. 
That maybe something to be added to

But anyway, how does that help with the definition of collection state?
