Agreed.

Agreed.

Agreed (should be closed when the next draft is available).

This currently says:

"When the 302 and 303 status codes are returned as the only status code for a response, HTTP1.1 uses the Location response header to indicate where the client should make the request.  The Multi-Status response syntax does not allow for the Location header information to be included in an unambiguous way, so servers MAY choose not to use these status codes in Multi-Status responses. If a clients receives this status code in Multi-Status, the client MAY reissue the request to the individual resource, so that the server can issue a response with a Location header for each resource."

What's the rationale for allowing servers not to return 3xx response status in multistatus? And what should they return *instead*? I think this needs more discussion...
