I don't understand what you mean. Surely, a follow-your-nose document could point readers to those "multiple (URL/data store/web service) locations". Such information is not guaranteed to be useful, but I don't see how it can be less useful than serving *no* information, except perhaps in the corner case where it is actually misleading. Also, do you mean the *declaration* of that URI (as defined in http://dbooth.org/2007/uri-decl/ ) , or do you mean other information about the URI's resource?
