Heh. That sums it up pretty good :-)

Hey, this would be really cool! It can even be used to give some purpose
to all those missused URLs.
But I can only use Dunny's way on webserver Foo right now... It's
probably the best way to make it work with MGET later anyway.
There some details to work out around MGET though. For example,
performing a GET on the two following URLs will probably give you the
same document:
http://foo.bla/something
http://foo.bla/something?param=value
But this should not be the case with an MGET, as the two URLs are not
the same resource (or at least they don't have to) per RDF terms.
