Fred,
Thanks much! I did in fact miss this. Wow.. I'm really excited now
about couchdb's potential in a linked data ecosystem. I'm really
impressed with how extensively the couchdb team is covering the web
architecture so well. My hats off to you all.

Question: Is it possible for couchdb to take a method GET request for a URI
like:
http://my.domain.org/source/[some_doc_id]<http://my.domain.org/source/%5Bsome_doc_id%5D>and
render different views of the stored JSON (say as XHTML or RDF) based on
the ACCEPT header. Note, converting from JSON to some other format is "just
programming". I am curious about if there is a mechanism within couchdb
that would expose the ACCEPT header to code.
Response format can change based on content type request headers:

Can a view see/get HTTP header information?
Show/list functions receive a request object, which has access to header
information such as:
