What do you mean by plural? Any resource with embedded links points to a
wide variety of things. Most of these will also point to a wide variety of
things. The question of pluralism is only interesting if you think of it in
terms of:
a) multiple copies that can be located via a public naming convention, e.g. URN
b) multiple language options of the same document which can be offered to
users based on a preference statement supplied with the document request.
Mechanisms for both of these approaches would be useful. How about:
