Okay -- representation resources are resources too.

Okay -- necessary for older clients and saves second request in common case.

Ummm, depends on what you mean by cache slots.  The cache key is the
Method+Request-URI (regardless of what was returned in URI) for
security reasons.  The cache slot pointed to by the key should contain
the request modifiers/vary information and metainfo necessary for
cache updates, and point to each of the cached responses.  Right?

Makes me a bit queezy.  Keep in mind that a 1xx response can't be
sent to 1.0 clients, so it is difficult to transition this as an
implementation.

I'd prefer just making the URI header information correspond
to the Method+Request-URI cache key and not allow it to change per
representation returned.  That way, it can be in the single response.

Any chance we can make that "Reps:"?  Hmmm, how about "More:"?
Or "Variants" or "Alternates".  It is really hard to say 5 syllable
words while giving a presentation.
