Note that when using content negotiation, in the definition of HTTP the two resources should represent the same data. Of course that's an ideal when you use HTML and an RDF format because the human-readable page will always contain more content (header, navigation, footer - although all those could probably be described in RDF; descriptive and helping text).

I suppose it's not a popular view anymore because that document has an official status now, but there's still the problem with #episode denoting an element in the HTML variant. Either you do have an element with that ID there, then #episode denotes both a thing and an HTML element. Or you don't have it, then this would be regarded as broken HTML. Maybe that's just a theoretical issue which can simply be ignored for pragmatism. Simon
