The set of changes is represented in a format called a 'patch document' identified by a media type." Suggest brushing up on "media type". You're modifying a resource, not a type of content. A text/html representation of a CSV diagnostic file may be generated for rendering in a browser. Probably best to patch the resource by sending a snippet of CSV, as patching the HTML *representation* may inadvertently break the CSS. Not to mention needs reverse-transformed before applying to the resource. You just need a "patch document" with a media type defining it as CSV, maybe even with line numbers. -Eric
