    1256 <t>
    1257    When it is necessary to express new semantics for a HTTP response that
    1258    aren't specific to a single application or media type, and currently defined
    1259    status codes are inadequate, a new status code can be registered.
    1260 </t>
    1261 <t>
    1262    HTTP status codes are generic; that is, they are potentially applicable to
    1263    any resource, not just one particular media type, "type" of resource, or
    1264    application. As such, it is preferred that new HTTP status codes be
    1265    registered in a document that isn't specific to a single application, so
    1266    that this is clear.
    1267 </t>
    1268 <t>
    1269    Definitions of new HTTP status codes typically explain the request
    1270    conditions that produce a response containing the status code (e.g.,
    1271    combinations of request header fields and/or method(s)), along with any
    1272    interactions with response header fields (e.g., those that are required,
    1273    those that modify the semantics of the response).
    1274 </t>
    1275 <t>
    1276    New HTTP status codes are required to fall under one of the categories
    1277    defined in <xref target="status.codes"/>. To allow existing parsers to
    1278    properly handle them, new status codes cannot disallow a response body,
    1279    although they can mandate a zero-length response body. They can require the
    1280    presence of one or more particular HTTP response header field(s).
    1281 </t>
    1282 <t>
    1283    Likewise, their definitions can specify that caches are allowed to use
    1284    heuristics to determine their freshness (see &caching;; by default, it is
    1285    not allowed), and can define how to determine the resource which they
    1286    carry a representation for (see <xref
    1287    target="identifying.response.associated.with.representation"/>; by default,
    1288    it is anonymous).
