If you receive a 201, the server has created a resource. What is the use case that does not work with these sementics of POST but that would work with ADDMEMBER? I recall that there was a similar discussion on rest-discuss regarding POST vs QUERY (query having the semantics of 'process query and send 201 to refer to the resource that is the query result). Mark and Roy had a similar exchange like in this thread. I am somewhere in between; I see Mark's point but I lack the in-depth understanding (especially I have no practical experience with the difference).
