The ETag header requirement (as opposed to SHOULD) comes from LDP, e.g. 4.2.1.3 (https://www.w3.org/TR/ldp/#ldpr-resource or thereabouts) Making If-Match a MUST would be a burden for very high traffic and low fidelity systems. It's only significantly useful when multiple users have write access to the same resource ... which doesn't seem like a primary use case for Annotations. I appreciate the desire to be consistent (symmetry is beauty, after all) ... but I think the uses for ETag are greater than the uses of If-Match (e.g. cache control), so it's already in favor of ETag being more useful than If-Match. -- GitHub Notification of comment by azaroth42 Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/327#issuecomment-232404090 using your GitHub account
