The insistence on slash URI's having 303 is mostly philosophical if you are still going to allow hash URI's which people have no real reason to go away from. When you consider that user agents do not send the hash part anyway, hence you have no idea at the server whether they are wanting the resource or just part, so you send back the result of a slash URL resolution... No need to push someone away because they didn't follow and arbitrary rule for "non-information resources". If there is any experimental evidence the Semantic Web will actually succeed if there are double the number of requests needed for a single resolution then it may be interesting to revisit the idea of assuming people are bad semantic web citizens because they implement things pragmatically. It would however be nice to have link rel="alternate" type="application/rdf+xml" href="blah.xml" etc. in the head of the html though to facilitate the discovery of the RDF/N3/JSON materials automatically. That doesn't imply that the blah.xml has to 303 redirect to a third resource "just in case" though. Peter
