The response to a PUT might already be an entity with some purpose (e.g. feedback about the change of a different nature). For one, that means that - unlike a regular GET - the entity in the response cannot be assumed to be a representation of the resource. That doesn't mean that you can't merge the two, but I'd have to suggest a specific indication. It might be as simple as setting Content-Location. > ... <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-13.html#identifying.response.associated.with.representation>, item 3, indicates that Content-Location can be used for this.
