Do you mean that you recommend deprecating the use of 303?  

And do you mean that you think the Link header should supersede the
implicit URI definition of the resource as being an information
resource, if 200 HTTP response code is received?  FYI, in response to
your comment I've added another issue for the latter question:
http://www.w3.org/wiki/UriDefinitionDiscoveryProtocol#3.2.1.1_Link_header 

Section 3.2.1 describes the Link header exactly that way:
