Do you mean 'expects' in the sense of this being a legal operation to 
attempt, or in the sense that any such resolution will yield a result.  I 
think it must be the former.

Then, I ask:  what do you mean by "resolution".  I assume it has to be 
something more than an HTTP GET operation, because that protocol wouldn't 
know what to do with (say) the URI mid:a@b.  I suppose this has to mean 
accessing the resource that the URI creator intended to be identified.
