Everyone wins. Strong agreement except for the word "algorithm". Practically, the information can be used as a /heuristic/, and provides similar disambiguating power to an rdf:type annotation. ie it's entirely optional metadata about the resource. In TAG terms then - as a heuristic, there's potentially a similar principle in effect here as there is for side-effected GETs, insofar as a resource owner can't be held responsible for the conclusions reached on that resource due to the response code served up for it. cheers Bill
