Well, this is where my knowledge on REST starts skating on thin ice.
If the only way to get to a resource is through one of "n" URLs that
contain a capability, then who can we tell if two resources are the
same? How can you and I know we're both looking at the referee evals
for paper 34 if we can't share links?
The security practices generally use names to tie authentication and
authorization data to an object, which is names are so important to
security. They generally don't (i.e., I can't think of any) subsume
the name of the object.
