My thinking was that if a GET on <hada> has a Content-Location of <hada.rdf> then
if one follows that procédure then the graphs for a GET on <hada> and the one returned
by GETing <hada.rdf> will be different:
one of them will have as foaf:primaryTopic <hada#me> and the other <hada.rdf#me> .
That seems odd.
