This just puts the burden on the client writer.

Finding some obscure part of the HTTP > namespace on a server to map to? Handling requests with resource-ids? It For instance, you might want to assign resource identifiers that can travel between servers.

No, they can't. For instance, the resourceid would change if the resource is moved. This is not allowed.
