Description

According to the specification, all data seems to be stored in Data Registrations according to Shape Trees. This would seem to preclude us from storing and accessing files like we currently can do with/in a Solid RS.

E.g. (how) would it (still) be possible to use a Solid RS as a file server, next to the differently shaped data I have on it?
E.g. (how) would it (still) be possible to serve a (static) website from a Solid RS?
