Perhaps just a very short time ago, in response to the OP:

   Your post only presents one side of the story and I was hoping to hear
   "pro and con". On www-tag we have 6 years of impassioned defense of
   the 200-means-web-page story and hash URIs - did no one come to their
   defense in the public-lod thread? If not, how did the thread get to
   be so long?
