Actually, it is a REBIND operation, but in the opposite direction.

Hmmm.  That's an even more obscure way of saying it (:-).

You were doing:
  BIND source-collection <source-segment, destination-URI>
which is what the spec was incorrectly updated to say, while Julian was 
doing:
  BIND destination-collection <destination-segment, source-URI>
which is what the spec originally was intended to say (to be like BIND).
