Julian,

This depends on what do you mean resource.  But in both your case and 
mime, they are different things. In my model, the legacy data is 
different from the stylesheet too.  They collectively describe a 
resource denoted by the URI they are bound too.  It is just you can them 
different resources and I can them different representations.  This is 
the issue I am trying to debate.
