If you use it to serve a page about Moby Dick (with 200) then the URI identifies a page about Moby Dick. The social contact bit is normally just assumed: That you don't do things like serve Moby Dick one second and Amaya documentation the next. > or > you could serve Amaya documentation from it and have it denote Moby > Dick, No, if the URI is for Amaya documentation, it doesn't *denote* something else. > but both of these things would be breaking social contract > (which is fuzzy, but okay). You'd be breaking the architecture if you maintained that the URI denoted Moby Dick, and you served up something which is not a representation of Moby Dick. You would be wrong.
