Unless you can come up with a *new* argument that is not already found in one of the following threads http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2003Jan/0150.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2004Oct/0071.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2005Jun/0092.html then this discussion is just another waste of time. The 303 solution exists only for the sake of those resource owners that wish to make the distinction. It has no need of an agreement from anyone else, nor does it have any effect on Web architecture, and it need not be implemented by people who don't share the desire for such a distinction. It simply exists for those who believe they have a need for it, whether they actually do or not, and it isn't up to us (or anyone else) to decide that need for them when it's their own URIs that are being defined with a given set of semantics that they can control, even if that notion of control is only a fantasy that might become untrue over time. ....Roy
