If you mean by that that the server only implements what's required by the 
HTTP spec the answer would have to be no. The LDP spec defines a set of 
additional requirements on top of HTTP that one must comply with to be 
called an "LDP server".

I believe, as the spec stands, a server must support LDPCs to be 
compliant. There are various aspects like paging that are optional but I 
don't think you can pass on the whole LDPC.

Should I take from what you're saying that you think we should have a 
level of conformance for LDPR-only servers?
