That's the conclusion behind my recommendation that one uses 303 (or link
header).
But maybe it's too pessimistic. Maybe we know a little, like it's not a
potato. Perhaps that the resource is something from a union of the sorts of
things one found on the web before use semantic guys came around. Things
like:
Services
Questionaires
Documents
Instrument readouts
Resolution independent images
Slices of databases
...
However, knowing that something is in the union of the above *tells us very
little of practical use in semantic web applications*.
