"But only that" implies that the response is not totally

I did not mean to imply that the responses were not totally
different. Nor did i mean to imply that they were totally
different. Nor did i mean to imply that they were not exactly the
same. I only meant that distinct identifiers enable returning
different data. I could have been more clear about that.<br><br>
But, putting that aside: The Yadis spec is clear that these are two
distinct identifiers. So they might identify two entirely
different people (or things) or they might be synonyms for the same
person (or thing). If synonyms, they might be sued to get the same
services and data, overlapping, or disjoint.<br><br>
