I agree with Shane.

To Gary's comments.

- Section 6.1.1 of the HTTP spec is very clear that unknown status codes should be treated as x00.

- We already support more codes in the dictionary than are listed in Section 10 of the HTTP spec.

If you read Roy Fielding's dissertation (chapter 5 or 6), it is very clear that it was always intended to be able to define codes as needed. Also, with Web 2.0, Zope 3 starts to become a middleware server whose clients are non-browsers, such as XmlHttpRequest and Flex.
