A page containing a poem by Shakespeare is in the same position as a biography
of Shakespeare: it can be seen in an RDF context as a proxy for the poem,
or as a document that happens to contain the poem.

If GET does not work on these, then I don't care about them for this
purpose. If it does work (let's say it returns a representation of the
coke machine's state), then is the page the coke machine, or a document
describing the state of the coke machine? Same story with a webcam
showing the Statue of Liberty.

O beautiful for patriot's dream that sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law!
-- one of the verses not usually taught in U.S. schools
