Re: claimed completion of ACTION-97 - proposal for pure-HTTP paging

Thanks Eric for completing your action.

I note that the URL you suggest we use to type the resource as a page is 
inconsistent with what we currently have for LDP Resources:

http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#Page vs http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp/Resource


I don't personally have a strong opinion as to which style is better but I 
would argue we need to have consistency.

By the way, are Page resources LDPRs? When retrieving a page do I get both 
type headers?
