The RESTafarian Way seems to be this: a URI allows you to specify what
you want a representation of, and other means (your "adjectives") allow
you to specify how you want it. The nasty part comes when you use URIs
to specify what you are talking about, since "what you are talking about"
is sometimes a subject matter, sometimes a representation thereof.
