Thanks for the feedback Simeon. I admit that I need to review AWWW and
will do so ASAP.

I can believe that AWWW recognizes the possibility of resources
without bitstreams, but I will be surprised if it dictates that an RDF
graph is such a resource. It's difficult to imagine why a set of
triples can't be a content-negotiable resource.

It's also hard for me to imagine why an HTTP redirect shouldn't be
understood as a type of resource representation. I'd have to look
closer, but I don't recall anything in HTTP/1.1 that undermines this
interpretation. Maybe AWWW deals with this too. If so, I fear that it
is splitting hairs that are already too thin and obscure.
