| 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.

What if the GET drops a can of coke on your desk?
