From my POV, the URI with ?output-type=uri-list appended is not the same, but a different URI, which tends to identify a different resource. In this case, I believe this is fine. > The thinking is that you specify the desired representation of the > document set resource. Sounds reasonable? In theory, different representations of the same resource should be retrieved via content negotiation (i.e. Accept headers and such). In practice, I believe having a similar URI with some suffix appended is the usual pragmatic alternative. Stefan -- Stefan Tilkov, http://www.innoq.com/blog/st/
