Description
People read
"Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated."
as if authenticating with *different* credentials won't help, and this choose a different status code.

and
Martin proposes:
"The server understood the request, but refuses to authorize it. Providing different user authentication credentials might be successful, but any credentials that were provided in the request are insufficient."
which sounds good to me.
