"4.4.1 If HTTP PUT is performed on an existing resource, BPR servers must replace the entire persistent state of the identified resource with the entity representation in the body of the request. The only recognized exception are the properties dcterms:modified and dcterms:creator that are never under client control - BPR servers must ignore any values of these properties that are provided by the client."

I think that saying that dcterms:modified and dcterms:creator cannot be modified by clients is an application-specific restriction.

I would not include it, but if you think that it is relevant, I would rewrite it in the style of 5.5.2:
"BPR servers MAY ignore server managed properties such as dcterms:modified and dcterms:creator".
