First, I thought we have established long ago that such things are
insignificant to REST.  REST only needs to be able to identify
representation dispensers, and *sometimes* a particular representation
(etag).  That is just fine for HTTP, but HTTP has practically nothing to
do with KR, and such laissez-faire identification is not suitable for
KR.

What does that have to do with KR or RDF?

And you did a great job.  But I wonder what that has to do with KR?
