Using POST to add collection members is straigthforward, after all, this was what POST was defined to do in the first place. So this specification just allows servers to expose support for something they could have done all the time. The problem is that extending this to methods other than PUT *very* quickly makes it very complicated, as the namespace operations also require Depth header support. BTW: why "symlinked"? BR, Julian
