I wonder if you read 5.4.1 my mistake?  5.4.2 is about conditions after 
POST (in this context - creation, more generally).

LC 5.4.2 After a successful HTTP POST request to a LDPC, the new resource 
MUST appear as a member of the LDPC until the new resource is deleted or 
removed by other methods. An LDPC MAY also contain resources that were 
added through other means - for example through the user interface of the 
site that implements the LDPC. 

So the proposal was to make the second sentence non-normative, i.e. this 
one:
An LDPC MAY also contain resources that were added through other means - 
for example through the user interface of the site that implements the 
LDPC. 


Thinking this through again, I cannot remember HTTP talking about this 
however, and a quick search suggests I'm (now, sigh) right.  AtomPub might 
say something about it, but we have not defined LDPCs as AtomPub 
collections so a normative reference there would not really help.

I withdraw 5.4.2 from the original proposal.  I'm with Pierre-Antoine on 
this one ;-)
