Good find. I was about to post a link to that very same discussion, because the same thing crossed my mind.
Interestingly there was a lot of negativity in that discussion about the author's idea. Criticism was mainly along the lines of "it's too risky" and "it won't work with old browser" along with "the old way works fine, I don't get what the big deal is."
Well, now we have at least one very good reason to pay closer attention to the spec and consider that the use of 303 may be more appropriate.
