You are assuming that these resources exists somewhere
where an external resource like robots.txt can coexist
relative to the target resources.
I would much more prefer an arrangement where I have
the option of embedding, linking, or sequencing. By
sequencing, I mean document transmission order specifies
the relationships between documents. If only a single
one-way communication channel is available, then meta-info
document can be sent just ahead of the target document.
