I don't think which HTTP response pattern/code is the core issue. The core issue is if we should be allowed to use any HTTP code to judge the nature of a resource. The fundemental assumption of RDF is that everything is an instance of rdfs:Resource. If somehow, this fundamental belief can be challenged, such as by checking if "rdfs:Resource" returns a particular HTTP code, then the entire RDF system itself is already put on a shaky ground. If we want to judge this sort of thing, it must be outside of RDF but not within. The irony, however, is this - if we don't care to and cannot judge if someone does it right or wrong, then why bother? Xiaoshu
