 Replying to [ticket:29829 rhyswynne]:
 > For example, Privately Published posts should probably return a 403 Code
 - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_403], rather than a 404.

 I disagree with this specifically - privately published posts should not
 be "known" to anybody who shouldn't have access. Returning a 403 instead
 of 404 would make it known.
