Hi, In a versioning repository it may be required to validate the request entity before updating a version. This can be as simple as structural validation or application-specific validation rules may be implemented. When validation errors are found it is not sufficient to just return a status-code. In order for the user to learn where the problems exactly are, the repository should be able to return the request entity with annotations about the errors. A possible solution is to give the POST method similar additional semantics as the PUT method. Its response entity could contain the annotated document.
