Thanks very much Vasily. That's very helpful and makes it easy and right to stick with 303 IMO.
I was on the TAG and HTTP BIS mailing lists for a long time but had to unsubscribe due to all the discussions, mostly about this and metadata discovery, that kept distracting me ;-)

Hi Phil, Since you discuss HTTP status codes and their definitions, I just wanted to point out that the current drafts of HTTPbis (i.e. the upcoming revision of the HTTP spec) include a definition[1] for 303 specifically tailored to the way it's used in LD today. (There was also a long, philosophical thread[2] on www-tag some time ago where the merits and shortcomings of this change were heavily debated.)
