Andrei,

Since LDP only just has a testsuite and barely any interop testing. Why 
can't you implement the following:

[1] error messages that indicate the failure in question -- even if you 
have a "debug" button for those that seek this kind of detailed information

[2] make LDP dependency for storage clear.

We support WebDAV, SPARQL 1.1, SPARQL Graph Protocol, and LDP (but this 
implementation suffers from implementation and spec related problems, so 
not on part with the other methods). In addition, we've always support 
all the Blog related protocols (including Atom Pub).

Some additional info re. the storage data space referred to by the 
object of the worspace storage relation:
