Yes, actually doing things does help more than talking. I sometimes
wonder whether as a community we're doing all the right things, but
that's another discussion ;)

Your suggestion about forging ahead is a good one, but it also reminds
me of Ian's original question: what would break if we used this
pattern?

So here's a couple of questions for those of you on the list who have
implemented Linked Data tools, applications, services, etc:

* Do you rely on or require HTTP 303 redirects in your application? Or
does your app just follow the redirect?
* Would your application tool/service/etc break or generic inaccurate
data if Ian's pattern was used to publish Linked Data.

Cheers,

L.
