When will TYPO3 set HTTP status codes? And which ones make sense?

403 Forbidden (access control)
503 Service Unavailabe (some temporary error)

Any others?

While 503 is intended for load problems I think it might be used for such 
things as DB gone as well, in the hope that the sitation will improve somehow.
