Actually, HTTP/1.1 is one protocol for which multiple forks of a file _does_ make sense. Remember that an entity is identified by a URL ("web filename"), but that entity may have many different streams of content, determined by the value of any header fields listed in the "Vary:" header (e.g., Content-Language, Content-Type, Content-Encoding, etc).
Just a thought.
