As an implementer, I would not like to be forced to allow this kind of
resource mutation.

Section 4.4.1 says, about PUT

   LDPR servers *MAY* ignore server managed properties

It may need to rephrase 4.4.1 slightly, but my undersyanding is that not
only properties, but also some *types* can  be server-managed and may not
be freely added or removed by users' PUTs. And LDPR and LDPC are cleary
those kinds of types.

Note that I'm not saying that the spec must forbid this, I'm only saying it
should not mandate it.
