You could stick to 403 for HTTP/1.0 (old clients) if that's
in any way relevant for your scenario, and pick another code
for HTTP/1.1 if it has a more desirable effect.  Could say
"402" do what you want, are you asking how to register a new
HTTP error code, or do you want a better documentation for
an existing code in 2616bis ?
