[quote author="SneakyDave" date="1308937036"]I don't disagree with you. My point is that the override feature was added for people to use. [/quote]
Well, i will say it like this : "the override feature was added for people to use (with they own risk!)".

FYI, all HTTP code have its own meaning. I mean, the "real programatic mean". I disagre with other approach, that "anti-pattern" to that. Some websites report a "not found" error by returning a standard web page with a "200 OK" (this is known as a soft 404) are problematic for automated methods of discovering whether a link is broken. Also, if you are building some REST web service, in some situation, that could be a real PITA.

But it your choice after all, so take it at your own risk.
