It returns all bindings (each with a URI to the collection it's in). If you need to compute all *paths*, you'll need to redo that step recursively for these collections. > Is the idea that the client would walk up the tree looking for other paths > to this resource? Yes, if it needs to. It just has to keep in mind that doing it without special loop checks may result in an infinite loop.
