As Foteos hinted, swapping the meaning of 302 and 303 is a solution
to the implementation problem.  I don't think it would affect Apache much.
However, it would require universal agreement among the rest of the
implementers, and it would require recycling HTTP/1.1 as Proposed
and not as a Draft Standard.  It is not something to be taken lightly.
