Section 5
---------

Ok, but what happens, for example, when you try to DELETE a stable
URL? Does that mean that the associated revision is to be deleted?
Trying to MOVE a stable URL should fail (e.g. 405 (Method not
allowed)), right? The same questions arise when you apply DELETE or
MOVE on a versioned resource whose target is a revision.

I would like to see the section substantially expanded. I believe there
are a number of " interesting " interactions with existing methods that
need to be explained.
