In fact, you could get your HTTP server to send that back as a representation of the conceptual Gideon's Bible using the matter-transport/non-sentient-non-life-form MIME type mentioned in RFC 1437. > 3. If that copy of Gideon's Bible is a document, can I refer > to it by URI? Whether it's a document or not, you can refer to it by URI. The question is whether the solid object sitting in your hotel room is directly identifyable using an HTTP URI. I think that TimBL's document class necessarily excludes solid objects, i.e. things made of atoms. Try [1] for more details.
