Am I mis-understanding what you mean by resource?
(I'm failing to come to the same conclusions as you, which probably
means there's some misunderstanding)

I was taking your use of 'resource' to mean any/every rdf term used in
the semantic web. I.e. subjects, predicates and objects. 

If that's the case then I don't think GET requests for arbitrary
representations are like MGET description requests at all, simply
given the orders of magnitude involved.

Many thanks,

Phil
