Right.

If you can predict reliably that the result to the client will be different for 2 different continuation URLs, they SHOULD NOT be put in the same continuation reference.

Sending referrals to both rich and sparse replicas (unless you know that all attributes asked for are present in the sparse replica) is a sure way to get the user to conclude that the service is broken.

And that doesn't make sense.
