I think that's really simple, then they should use hash-URIs. That's all, 
really.

Basically, what we have now is choice:
If you want to publish documents on an old style web server and not worry 
about the 303 dance, use hash-URIs.

If you have more control and prefer to take it all the way, you can spend 
two days of coding or just use some module and do the 303 dance.

I really don't see a point in deprecating number two, and making a huge 
fuzz about it, as long as they can do number one.

Cheers,

Kjetil
