Hmm, I'm not sure what purpose a human/machine distinction serves here. To me, that's a property of the data you get back when resolving the URI, not of the URI itself or to what it refers. So, a GET on a URI that identifies a stylesheet doesn't necessarily return the stylesheet; it could return an HTML page saying "This is a stylesheet for such-and-such".
