The Networth resource is a URI and so are the Asset and Liability children, so, yes.

The "Networth" class of resources says it is composed of its "Assets" and "Liabilities". 
So, each "Networth" is the parent to a number Asset and Liability children. 

If I de-reference a Networth resource, the representation MUST contain information how it links (through outgoing link) to these children, because through these child container resources I can manipulate the Networth resource. 

OK, if it doesn't work this way, how else do you see the spec allowing that manipulation to happen ??
