Hello, I'm just trying to understand the terms "representation" and "variant". After reading the spec for a while I suspect that every possible entity from a given resource is a "variant" and if content negotiation comes into play it is termed "representation" as well. If I have a document that changes only over time (eg CGI output), then are the different entities termed as different "variants" of the same resource as well? Or is it only sensible at a given instant? Is there any practical explanation available? Any help is appreciated very much. Thanks a lot in advance, Jacob
