The other alternative is "Change RFC 4287" as I see it. I still am unsure
how this would be expressed in a Pace -- "PaceAllowPrincipleOfOrthogonality",
perhaps? There is no direct, one-to-one relationship between a resource and
a representation, and a protocol which flies against this cannot possibly
meet any 80/20 reasonableness standard.
