"The resource" as a monolithic being disappears. That lets us give up on the notion of consistent (URI+time->result) expectations that Jeff seems to be picking on[1], and get on with our work. With any luck, this approach might mean less philosophical "bleeding from the brain" (as Tim so cheerfully described it on www-tag) and more focus on how things work in particular - and diverse - systems.
