I want to throw in another question, are there currently arguments
for or against the two alternatives:
http://www.example.org/doc/alice.html
vs

and the same for .rdf vs rdf/
In terms of web architecture both options are the same. But the first
one has several “soft” advantages:
- more idiomatic and hence easier to remember and use
- more compatible with the Hierarchical URIs pattern [1]
- yields an obvious URI for the generic, format-independent version of
the resource (chop off the extension)
