Re: Is 303 really necessary?

I've never encountered anyone in the community that has recently
advocated (i.e. since the httpRange-14 discussion) or any
documentation that promotes anything other than using # URIs or the
303 redirect approach.

So in the circumstance where someone doesn't want to use a # URI, what
options are available? Can point to a document that illustrates an
alternate approach? It's not really choice if there's only one option.

You also frequently cite dbpedia as the de facto standard model for
publishing Linked Data. This uses the 303 pattern, giving further
prominence to that approach.

But if there are other options that have a better mix of advantages
and dis-advantages to the two that the community has promoted thus
far, then we should include those too.
