httpRange-14 errata

Just for fun I revisited the httpRange14 errata page, and put some
text there that reflects my understanding - basically a very short
version of the 'information resources and web metadata' note.

http://www.w3.org/wiki/ErrataHttpRange14#JAR.27s_version_of_what_the_resolution_should_have_been

I deleted the 404 clause because I couldn't figure out what purpose it had.

It seems we need something like this, since the IR note is too long -
if I can't get you all to read it, I'll never get the TAG to read it -
but there is a need for something to point to. (I was moved to do this
by reading Larry Masinter's confused comments in the recent F2F
minutes.)

If HTTPbis ever gets finished the 303 clause can go away.  It would be
nice to get the 2xx part into the RFCs as well, but 3986 might be a
better place to put it than HTTP, since you could nail *all* the
dereferenceable URIs all at once - data: ftp: gopher: tdb:(??) and
maybe even urn:.

Of course this would be sort of pointless if the rule doesn't stick.
So let's wait and see.
