RE: NEW ISSUE: redirection vs location

The proposed change nicely corrects the order of the sentence to match the elaborations provided in the following two lines.

 The Location response-header field is used for the identification of a
 new resource or to redirect the recipient to a location other than the
 Request-URI for completion of the request.

 For 201 (Created) responses, the Location is that of the new
 resource which was created by the request. For 3xx responses,
 the location SHOULD indicate the server's preferred URI for
 automatic redirection to the resource. The field value consists
 of a single absolute URI.

I agree that switching the two sentences makes it clearer. +1.
