Ugh, let's not. View-based fragments are not the same resource. The
scene wouldn't be very interesting if he just picked up a warped mirror.
Changing the interface (instead of what the interface produces) is a
different topic.

Hey, no ambiguous use of identifiers -- that resource is "Today's Dilbert"
.
At least with this one they can purchase related items:
http://www.cafeshops.com/cp/sotd.aspx?storeid=dilbert&date=10/04/2002
which, BTW, is also a classic example of how not to design a URI space.
