I *think* that

http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1

are addresses for the same resource (but there is no way for me to tell --
it's not permitted for me to know).  I can tell, however, that they produce
the same representation when I GET them.  So not everything is 1-1.
