My simple mind has the same problem. I expect a one-to-one
correspondence between a URL and an object, be it a printer
or job object. I don't expect a particular object, such as
a job, to have 3 URLs even buried in the protocol. It adds
complexity to the protocol and probably ends up being hard
to hide from an end-user.
