Wouldn't the real world entity identifier get confused with the

latter use case should also uses the Content-Location header.
If a user agent receives HTTP metadata that includes a URI in the Content-Location header that's different from the URI in the request there won't be such confusion.

If the user bookmarks the request URI it will always resolve to the actual content associated with said URI. Of course, what the user sees in their browser's address bar will change when a hashless URI denotes and entity isn't of type: Web or Internet document.

As I stated a long time ago, there's no reason to start Linked Data oriented narratives from the entity URI (when said entity isn't of type: Web or Internet Document). Instead, simply start with the URI (or URL) of a Linked Data description document since said document will explicitly indicate what it describes via a description subject URI.

1. <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Barack_Obama> denotes the real-world entity 
'Barack Obama' .
Why can a client make this inference? I can't see any basis for the inference

not provide any information regarding the nature of the identified resource,

To be a little clearer, "real-world entity" isn't the focal point of the 
comment per se. This is about disambiguating description document and description 
document subject URIs. Thus, if the request URI and the Content-Location URI are both 
hashless and the status returned is 200 OK a client can also infer that the request URI 
denotes a Web Document (or entity of type: Web Document).

Re. #1 above, it just denotes an entity that isn't of the Web realm i.e., not 
of type: Web Document.

Hope that's clearer?
