My personal answer is that two responses are "the same enough" if you, as a publisher, would be happy to publish them under the same URI without any explicit way of referring to them individually. If you, as the publisher, would be satisfied never being sure which representation a consumer will get, then they're OK to share a URI. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
