Re: By way of example.

I am using VARY, which is why my Content-Location returns:

http://example.com/userid.atomsrv

Which is because I chose to call my introspection document index.atomsrv.

Which is all entirely irrelevant -- don't you see that whether or not I 
locate the service document at http://example.com/index.atomsrv -or- if I 
locate it at http://example.com/introspection...

It is still a URI collision for ANYONE who implements it.

Again, what are YOU GUYS returning in your Content-Location which does not 
constitute the same exact URI collision I see in my implementation?

THIS IS A FLAW WITH YOUR SPEC, NOT WITH MY SKILLS.
