"requested resource" in content-encoding definition

[mnot@…]

p3 3.2.1:

Content-Encoding may be used to indicate any additional content codings applied to the data, usually for the purpose of data compression, that are a property of the requested resource. There is no default encoding.

Saying that compression is a property of the requested resource implies that 'requested resource' includes conneg, which may confuse particularly astute readers.

Probably better to say that they're a property of the requested representation, or similar.
