Hi, as many propably know, the TAG has recently resolved httpRange-14. Part of the resolution is that resources that return a 2xx upon an HTTP GET are considered 'information resources'. As a consequence, using URIs that identify such 2xx resources to refer to non-information resource things such as dogs is 'an error'[1]. IMHO, two questions arise: - given that most URIs today point to 2xx resources, what URIs am I supposed to use to refer to dogs and the like? - Given a sufficient supply with 303 resources[2], who is issueing and maintaining all those URIs for dogs etc. Not that there is an immediate problem and I like the approach taken a lot, but I kind of question the usability of the httpRange-14 resolution. What do others think? Am I missing the point somehow? For references and a more detailed write-up see [3]. Thanks.
