Here's the primary material by the way http://www.crossref.org/CrossTech/2010/03/dois_and_linked_data_some_conc.html which says "302 or 303 depending", and http://www.crossref.org/CrossTech/2011/04/content_negotiation_for_crossr.html which doesn't mention 303 at all. Two interesting things (1) The change required the cooperation of the IDF (the owner of dx.doi.org), and wasn't unilateral with Crossref (who provides the data) (2) Crossref has taken a risk in changing the redirect from a 302 (formerly) to a 303 - I'm expect there are a ton of applications that crawl through these URIs and it is plausible that many of them will break I know of two big sites that use a landing page's URI as a name for the information resource that the landing page is about. I guess I had been so worried that IDF would do the obvious thing and just continue with their 302 redirects that I reflexively assumed that they had. Of course the important news is that these records are now available without a login - this is hugely important data. And that means there will be Turtle parsers in lots of places they haven't been before. This is exactly what RDF needs: people who start using RDF clients not because they care about RDF but because they care about the data.
