Dan, This is a critical point, and one of the basic problems with aligning the RDF world with the web and particularly http. On the Semantic Web, we need to see everything visible in the RDF. Anything that encodes some aspect of the meaning of a thing in the http protocol and doesn't surface it in the RDF will lose when made available by any other protocol (like from a triple store). It's one of the reasons that content negotiation is a loser for the Semantic Web, and, similarly, solutions that rely on response codes such as 303, since both of these mechanisms are http dependent. -Alan
