Koen says: |Good question. I for one would greatly prefer having a scheme in |which each variant has an URI as its name, not some opaque thing. The |reason is that I want to avoid caches having to store variants under |keys like (port-URI, opaque thing) instead of just (variant-URI), that |I want to avoid speccing and implementing a | | GET variant-called-X-of-negotiation-port-Y | |access mechanism for reactive negotiation, etc. I'll second that. Don't forget the poor slob who needs to edit a variant. If variants have their own URIs, then they can just say: PUT variant-URI instead of: PUT URI I-Really-Meant-This-Variant-From-Some-Cache: foo.ijwefij#09i908235 -Dave
