I understand that targetResource does not identify the service but the
combination of interface + targetResource does. Or doesn't it?

All of the printer services were supporting the same interface but they
had a different targetResource, hence making those services
distinguishable from each other. Perhaps, you don't call it "identity"
but when everything else is the same, it seems to me that the "turtle"
:-) becomes an "id".

At the end of the day you do end up having a bunch of web services whose
only difference is their targetResource.
