No beef, just clarity pursuit. As stated in my response to David Booth, we are
partitioning the disambiguation component of Linked Data deployment i.e.
separating this function from the actual server that publishes the Linked Data.
Thus, "applicable to other Web Servers" is fine, but try to associate this with
the likes of Pubby and Virtuoso which also offer similar capabilities to Document Web
Servers.

Fundamentally these scripts are dealing with content negotiation and
HTTP redirects. The thread may have emerged in response to .htaccess
recipes, but the principles are largely generic.
See my comment above re. the functional separation. Also note, "303
redirection" is the mechanism for disambiguating between Resource Identifier and
Resource Metadata via a single generic HTTP URI that is slash terminated.
The sooner we demote "303 redirection" to the "mechanics and detail aspect" of the Linked Data meme, the better.
