I'm not sure I fully understand that last syntax. I am ready to accept that the *actual* resource is abstract, and that I can only get representations of it with my web browser. However if I want to make a link from my homepage to some interesting page on the web, what means do I have to know *what* I'm actually pointing to ?... For example, most W3C documents provide, at their beginning, the "this version" URL, by contrast to the "last version" URL. More generally, how coul I get the "most specific URI" for the sequence of 0's and 1's I'm currently reading in my browser ? New HTTP header field ? Pierre-Antoine
