Ah, good point.

It's unfortunate we (XMLP) chose to declare the state transition on
"200" rather than "2xx", but IIRC, there was considerable debate about
this point, as those promoting "protocol independence" feared that
exposing too much of HTTP to the application was a bad idea.  Support
for 2xx used to be there[1], but was removed and replaced by [2] as a
result (IIRC).

Sweet, sweet irony. 8-)
