I still don't understand why this works in 1.1. Your previous email
just glosses over steps 2g-i.

GET /sub

@Path("/")
public class Resource {
    @POST
    @Path("{id}")
    public void post();

    @Path("sub")
    public Resource locator() {
    }

    @GET
    public void get();
    }
}

 From 2(h) spec version 1.1

"If R(match) was derived from T(method) then set
      M= {subresource methods of O where R(Tmethod) = Rmatch}
Goto Step 3"

subresource methods != subresource locators. So, while locator() is the
first match, it is excluded because M only matches to subresource
methods of "O", *NOT* subresource locators of "O". I need to somebody
to point why my interpretation is wrong, because otherwise I'm just
going to have to guess how the algorithm works.
