I wonder if there's some way to make a useful legal argument along the lines of: Since there's a well defined HTTP Status code for "Unauthorized" (401), then it's clear that ant request responded to with a Status code of "200 OK" is, by definition, being declared by the webserver (and it's operators) as "authorized".
