Conditional delete in LDP

Hi all,

There are two phrases in the LDP specification about the usage of e-tags.
The former [1] requires the severs to send weak/strong etags and the latter
[2] is about conditional requests.

If the goal of using e-tags is to prevent the lost update problem,
shouldn't we move the conditional request phrases from PUT to the general
section and make it apply to all write requests (at least PUT and DELETE) ?

May be this is not the right time for changing anything but this is to
clarify our intention.

Best Regards,
Nandana
