Is Representation in acceptRepresentation == Request.getEntity() ?

[Paul J. Lucas]

If I am implementing:

        public void acceptRepresentation( Representation rep ) {
            // ...
        }

Is using that "rep" exactly the same as if I had instead done:

            Representation rep1 = getRequest().getEntity();

?  Is the "rep" being passed to acceptRepresentation() just a  
convenience?
