Hmm...the meaning of POST is that the server will process the message. 
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).
