When people pack their bag, they rarely arrange the items in a se- quential order. A bag is typically a synonym for a multiset, which is usually not ordered either. So this is not a bag of bits. The current draft uses the term "resource" in several senses. Where it is meant to refer to a bit stream, neither resource nor represen- tation is appropriate; neither term makes it clear which bit stream it referred to, e.g., whether content encodings are removed or not. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
