Comment on HTTP 308 Incompetence Expectedparent

So basically the entire premise of the article, that

existing practice today is that 301, 303, and 307 are used correctly pretty much everywhere

is flat out wrong. I guess that's a nicer and more probable resolution than "standards people suck!".

From the rest of the article, I can only assume it means 'correctly' in the sense of the reality arrived at by both user agents and servers after years of standards-flouting, which is now 'correct' if unspecified behavior.
