Triggering 303's (was: XML Schema draft populates the intersection ...)

I see here the pattern

<doc#term> - non-info resource

<doc> -> 200 OK, RDF/XML
<doc> -> 303 See Other, <doc.html>, HTML

and

<doc/term> - non-info resource

<doc/term> -> 303 See Other, <doc/term.html>, HTML
<doc/term> -> 303 See Other, <doc/term.rdf>, RDF/XML

It worries me slightly that we now have a mechanism for getting RDF
information about non-info resources, but we have no way of getting
similar information about information resources, such as

<doc> - information resource

<doc> -> 200 OK, HTML
<doc> -> 303 See Other, RDF/XML  <<==== How to trigger this?

For symmetry, WebArch would be well served if there would be a
well-defined way to trigger such "See Other" responses.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
