Any RDF statements using http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml.html as the subject # describe the web page. I don't think it's a good idea to have the 'meaning' of RDF statements depend on the spelling of the last part of the URL used. So I think this is a really bad design. I think there's some tendency to pay attention to the 'file extension' in a URL as some kind of meta-data, and that this isn't portable or platform independent. We might want to work on some policy about this, since there seem to be a number of clients that do auto-detect of file format based on the URL 'extension' for more than just 'ftp:' (where it's necessary).
