Its a "horses for courses" matter :-)

If you choose to use hashless HTTP URIs in regards to entity denotation, you have to make the extra investment required (via 303 heuristics) for entity disambiguation [1].

Note, there are changes to HTTP that also reduce some of the confusion in this realm. For instance the use "Content-Location:" response headers to aid disambiguation [2].
