*Typo fixed edition*

With regards to (ISSUE-57, performance and deployment of discovery) 
i.e., reducing the challenges that 303 redirection posses to some 
systems, you have the following items which are already covered in 
section 4.1 of your doc [1]:

200 OK
Link: <http://example.com/uri-documentation>; rel="describedby"

303 See Other
Location: http://example.com/uri-documentation>

Either of the above introduce heuristics that existing Linked Data 
compliant user agents can choose to implement.

In the specific case of "Link:" you have the added benefit of a 
heuristic that works for Web developers that are interested in 
structured data and even high-fidelity linked data modulo anything to do 
with R-D-F. Basically, those that don't have any *interest* in 
processing HTTP response metadata simply have the option to process 
identical <link/> relations in the <head/> section of (X)HTML resources.
