Re: PaceURINomenclature and PaceOnlyMemberURI

I meant from Atom Syntax:

"""The value "self" signifies that the IRI in the value of the href
attribute identifies a resource equivalent to the containing element."""

Joe has said that self is ambiguous according to syntax I'd assume and
Asbjørn mentioned the following today:

"""So, if the <link> element with a @rel attribute whose value is 'self'
shows up as a child node of <atom:entry>, its @href attribute points to
the URI where you can find this exact Atom Entry Document. Thus, 'self'
is a perfect link relation to use for "public" GET operations, while
'edit' is the one defined and used by APP."""

Is that understanding of self incorrect then? I'm curious. If it's
incorrect and ambiguous, are there any proper and useful scenarios to
use 'self'?
