I read RFC 2616 as saying, "If you were interested in x, then y is something that you might want to >see also<". Now if (the representation of) y happens to be an RDF document that happens to make statements about x, terrific. I'm fine encouraging that idiom. I'm a bit nervous about saying: "by the way, if y were to turn out to be anything other than such a description, than that 303 is certainly an error". Where are the normative specs supporting that conclusion? We are trying to write them now, I guess, where there are hole in what is there.. The 303 should be defined in the thing welcome up with, including the its range being IR. > > Noah >
