I don't think you can make such a statement, and have it make any sense,
unless you s/resource/representation. In other words, if the XRD is about
the representation, you can plausibly say that even though the Alias is
another URI for the same resource, the XRD content doesn't necessarily apply
because the Alias could map to a different representation of the same
resource.

But you seem to want to stick with the "resource" terminology, and then your
argument falls apart, it seems to me.
