Identifying QUERY results

It might be good to explicitly point out that QUERY responses don't have a URL to identify them, as per core.

...unless indicated by Content-Location, right?

Yes. Probably with something like:

Note that a response to a QUERY request, is not identified by the target URI; see [ref to core].

I'm still confused why we would say that for QUERY, but not for PUT or POST... QUERY is not special with respect to this; GET is.

Because QUERY will be considered by many as a drop-in replacement for GET, and may not realise this implication.
