Re: LABEL method and Multi-Status

Of course, the requirement that

... If a Depth header is included and the request fails on any resource, 
the response MUST be a 207 Multi-Status that identifies all resources 
for which the request has failed ...

does not mean that the request could not fail with, for instance, 403 or 
405 or whatever. Maybe this section could be reworded a little if there 
will ever be a spec revision.
