I've changed the thread name to improve tracking in the IPP
Hypermail archives for this topic.

Ok, since no one followed up after that, I guess Herriot's
statement stands. No problem.

But what happens if the two URIs *do* differ?
I think we need some language in the document
so developers can do the right thing.

All of the recent talk about proxies rewriting
the request-uri has me concerned whether we will
indeed see quite a few cases in which the two
URIs are not the same (and then what?).
