Well, duh!, of course this wouldn't be a good idea, and our fellow would
have a perfectly good right to be confused -- but surely you aren't arguing
that some axiom is causing the confusion here, are you?
The bottom line is that the 'controller' of the resource needs to ensure
that representations of the resource do, in fact, convey information about
the resource and not something else. So if the URI is a namespace name, they
common sense dictates that the representation convey some information about
the namespace.
