I'm struggling to weigh up its merits. One nice use case: it would let people who can't control a document's headers 200-return a GRDDL document for a property merely by setting meta[@http-equiv="Description-ID"]. For consumers this would be worse since we'd have to parse HTML documents. In other words, having only the 303 solution may be better since it doesn't force us to read the entity body to disprove something being an information resource. I'm only just starting to get to grips with the Tabulator-level ramifications of this, but I have a feeling that if there's a "Danger, Will Robinson!" reaction to be had, it lies there. P.S. I liked the Jabberwocky example. I'm going to start a new thread summarising these other httpRange-14 happenings. -- Sean B. Palmer, http://inamidst.com/sbp/
