I know it is *possible*. I wondered if anyone seriously contemplated an actual case where this might happen, other than to prove an academic point. Put another way, are there any 'natural' examples of something that people might reasonably do where this would happen. Yes, the FOAF ns URI behaves this way. Ask it for rdf/xml you get a pile of rdfs and owl-based triples. Ask it for html (or fail to express a preference) and you get an xhtml human-oriented doc with a light sprinkling of rdfa-encoded rdfs and owl-based triples. The intent is that later is a growing subset of former, but for now the two flavours are not mechanically coordinated. You could put this down to incompetence, laziness or bad tools, but it is at least a real-world mess rather than a thought experiment.

IS it obvious that it would be different? The object of log:semantics is the RDF graph that the retrieved representation parses into, not the representation itself. Are there cases where content negotiation would give a different RDF graph from the same resource?
