Proposal 1 was: "Simply do allow that use case. WebDAV clients already expect the server to create the resources at the URI they are given. This is a pretty fundamental part of WebDAV; an extension of WebDAV that didn't support it isn't an extension at all." In other words, just let the client pick the URI like we always have in WebDAV, and don't attempt to support servers that do not want to let the client pick the URI.

The functionality doesn't need to be implemented in the first place, so it doesn't matter. - Brian
