In section 4.1, in place of the second paragraph and following list, substitute:

  There are three ways to locate a URI documentation link in an HTTP response:

* using the Location: response header of a 303 See Other response [httpbis-2], e.g.

     303 See Other
     Location: http://example.com/uri-documentation>

* using a Link: response header with link relation 'describedby' ([rfc5988], [powder]), e.g.

     200 OK
     Link: <http://example.com/uri-documentation>; rel="describedby"

* using a ‘describedby’ ([powder]) relationship within the RDF graph created by interpreting the content of a 200 response, eg:

     200 OK
     Content-Type: text/turtle

     PREFIX :<http://www.iana.org/assignments/relation/>
<http://example.com> :describedby <http://example.com/uri-documentation> ;
       .


Seeking clarification,

Given some arbitrary thing and a description of that thing, let's say:

<http://example.org/uri> is described by <http://example.org/uri-documentation>

Previously we could GET /uri and either:

a) follow the value of the Location header in a 303 response to get to /uri-documentation

b) follow the value of the Link header to get to /uri-documentation

With this proposal though we'd be able to say issue a GET to /uri with an Accept header value of text/turtle, and the server could return back the contents of /uri-documentation, with a status of 200 OK, and where the text/turtle response contained:

PREFIX :<http://www.iana.org/assignments/relation/>
<http://example.com> :describedby <http://example.com/uri-documentation>

Is this correct?

TIA
