I'm confused. The spec now says: "What some specifications, in particular the HTTP and URI specifications, refer to as a representation is referred to in this specification as a resource. [HTTP] [RFC3986]" That seems to be in conflict with what Ian said in his email. I also note that the current text got objections from both Roy and me, and Dan was proposing to make the citations more specific (which I supported). I believe this needs more work.
