1) If we can simplfy the PATCH spec further, then yes, we should do that.

2) I was just looking at the description of Content-Location:

"The Content-Location entity-header field MAY be used to supply the 
resource location for the entity enclosed in the message when that 
entity is accessible from a location separate from the requested 
resource's URI..." -- 
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2616.html#rfc.section.14.14>)

 From that description, it's not entirely clear that it applies to this 
sue case, as the location returned in Content-Location would *not* be 
separate from the resource's URI. I guess we'll have to tune the 
language here somewhat.
