Question regarding POST versus PUT for creating an LDPC

Team,

I'm curious of your opinion.

I have been feverishly trying to catch up, where time permits, by trying my
hand at implementing what is specified thus far (in Java, as a layer atop
Tomcat).

One area where I'm having doubts is on what might be the more logical HTTP
method for the creation of an LDPC. POST or PUT?

I kind of get the feeling that the spec, as it stands, seems to imply that
PUT is the better method. But I'm not so sure.

In your experience, is there a convention for CREATE? It just doesn't seem
clear to me that one is intended over the other. I suppose both could be
supported, but what would be the majority expectation?

Or does it matter?

Sorry - I know I'm not really contributing yet, but rather - just asking
more questions. But I think, perhaps, that once I get my code up to a point
where it's starting to have good coverage, it may start to reveal some real
questions and issues that could add value. So, bear with me (and be gentle).
