I think I see the source of my confusion now. This isn't the
difference between English and AWWW et al. It's the difference between
HTTP and those other things. From an HTTP perspective, a Resource Map
would make for a perfectly reasonable representation. If the documents
that have been cited so far explain this somewhere I might accept it,
although it is damned confusing of them to redefine words like
"representation" that way.
