Forgot to say: This is the for example the reason, why it is 100%
clear and not subject to interpretation what you get when you
enter any URL into your browsers location bar and hit <enter>.
A representation of the resource that the URL refers to.

Now, if you add more addressing contexts, you'd need to include
them in HTTP requests....but how would you????

To put this in other words: you can use Web architecture as a
transport mechanism and in the layer you add, it is certainly
possible to do anything (see WS-* 'madness') and also use
diverse addressing semantics, but if you intend to be 'on the
Web', you simply cannot.
