Container Questions

Some questions on functionality that isn't explicitly covered by the
specification, but just want to make sure that's intentional:

1.  It seems like an LDP system can create all of the resources POSTed to a
container in one operation, and should arbitrarily pick one for the
response.  For example, if the entity-body of the post contains a graph
with five blank nodes, the server can (should?) create all five and return
whichever one of them it wants.

2.  It is unspecified what happens when the entity-body POSTed to an
IndirectContainer does not contain the insertedContentRelation predicate,
and thus the system can do what it thinks best (either fail the request, or
assume that <> I-C-R <> in the manner of a DirectContainer would be two
obvious choices).

3.  Systems should support multiple containers with the same
membershipResource and the same hasMemberRelation? For example one resource
with both direct and indirect containers, both of which contribute to
populating the same pool of members in the membership resource. It's not
specified, but it seems like a logical conclusion from the spec.

Thanks!
