Absolutely, but unfortunately we can't change the thousands of scripts already out there and I don't believe we can just say "They are broken, tough." As Lynx has already found out, if you don't support 301/302 in the broken sense you just don't work with the content out there. 301/302 are historical artifacts and we are stuck with them.
