Hi Ian
no its not needed see this discussion

pointing to 203 406 or thers..
..but a number of social community mechanisms will activate if you
bring this up, ranging from russian style "you're being antipatriotic
criticizing the existing status quo " to "..but its so deployed now"
and ".. you're distracting the community from other more important
issues ", none of this will make sense if analized by proper logical
means of course (e.g. by a proper IT manager in a proper company, paid
based on actual results).
But the core of the matter really is : who cares. My educated guess
looking at Sindice flowing data is that everyday out of 100 new sites
on web of data 99.9 simply use RDFa which doesnt have this issue.
choose how to publish yourself but here is another one. If you chose
NOT to use RDFa you will miss out on anything which will enhance the
user experience based on annotations. As an example see our entry in
the semantic web challange [1].

Giovanni,
Could I paraphrase, if you don't mind?
I think you are saying that the following distractions are irrelevant to
the fundamental goals of Linked Data:
1. Apache capabilities
2. Apache access
3. Access to other Web Servers
4. RDF formats such as RDF/XML (which most see as being RDF)
5. SPARQL
6. Heuristics for Resolvable Names (303 and friends).
If so, I agree totally!
BTW - RDFa is unfortunately named since it conveys the misconception
that its an RDF derivative when it isn't. I say this bearing that the
rest of the world (modulo LOD and broader Semantic Web communities)
continue to perceive RDF as "owl:sameAs" RDF/XML.
Yes, RDFa lets you drop a descriptor (information resource) anywhere on
the Web without breaking the fundamental essence of the Linked Data
concept :-)

Hi all,
The subject of this email is the title of a blog post I wrote last
night questioning whether we actually need to continue with the 303
redirect approach for Linked Data. My suggestion is that replacing it
with a 200 is in practice harmless and that nothing actually breaks on
the web. Please take a moment to read it if you are interested.
