No, that is too simplistic -- the server may have several variants
that are possible on a request, and all of them would be in the URI
headers. Location is being used to identify which variant was
selected (if 2xx) or which variant is the default choice (if 3xx).
This will all be much clearer once 1.1 is out, which will be as soon
as I can concentrate on the damn thing and squeeze out the correct
wording on the caching stuff.
