Here's why i care: if different WKD clients choose different answers to
this question, then some clients will get different responses for WKD
than others. I think that would be a bad outcome. You'd generally want
any WKD client on the public internet to get the same answer from a WKD
query.
For example, if client A accepts a 404 from the "advanced" URL as "does
not exist", but client B goes ahead with a query to the "direct" URL,
then client B could get a response that client A knows nothing about.
Which one is "right"?
